this is the format that worked for me. basically i just dropped the xxxx:yyyy (user/pass) part and the <smb> tag has to be between the <path> tags, which you didn't have originally.

better make that:
<path>smb://xxxx:yyyy@192.168.100.245/160gig$/bilder/</path>

but i still think he would drop the xxxx:yyyy right? i think he took that right out of the example, if he doesn't know his user/pass he most likely doesn't have one, so you cna just drop the "xxxx:yyyy@" part, i think, unless i'm way off.
