I had same issue...
with windows it's easy to mount PC HDD to my vuDuo but when move to mac osx i tried many methods with NO success :-(
BUT there is a solution i founded it, If you like me want to watch videos from your mac into vu+ use this method:-
my advice do not use CIFS,AFP or SMB try to use DLNA... How? see...
1- there is many APPs to make you mac as DLNA server and i almost tried them all the best one for me is "PlayBack" it's easy and smarter
2- in your vu+ download plugin "DLNA browser"
or if you have a TV that DLNA support also will work
that's in sort word, if you want any help tell me please
best regards

Thanks to pay attention but I find a way.
Well it's tricky but it's worth to take a look.
I did it manually with DCC (same software for DreamBox).
I use Telnet and the command is :
mount -t cifs //IP*/path** /***/ -o rw,user=****,password=****,nounix,sec=ntlmssp
*:IP to the mac
**:Name of the folder shared between / /
***: path of the folder which is created in the vu+ usually /mnt/shared but you have to create it.
****:username and password of the session open in the mac
I have to say that in system preferences/network you have to configure in advanced section:
WINS with the same workgroup of the vu+ solo2.
And that's it!
