SQL Agent job and SAMBA share

[jfilek]

I have a windows app that checks for the existance of a directory on a samba share. I have successfully mapped a drive to the same share using a username and password sent in clear text. If I invoke the app from windows it works fine(finds the directory which I already know is there) If I invoke the same app using a SQL Agent job it cannot find the directory. I am using the same account for the SQL service as i am to log in to windows.
What do I need to do to allow this application invoked by SQL agent to see the samba share?

P.S. Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.

I schedule a job in SQL Agent Manager. It uses cmdExec to invoke the exe.
