Here is the "problem".
When you have the share mounted on /mnt/smb there should be *no* smb
entry in the Left-Panel.
That is because Thunar is only "scanning" /media for local mounts.
When a mount occurs under
/media Thunar will place an entry in the Left-Panel under Devices. It
will *not* do that for mounts under /mnt.
If the share under /media is unmounted Thunar should remove the entry
from the Left-Panel.
Why it is still there on you Thunar, I do not know. However, it is a
useless entry. No amount of clicking on
it will be effective.
When I do a mount of the share under /mnt I do *not* have an smb entry
on the Left-Panel.
I have shown that with images I've post online.
There should never be a need to drag and drop entries to the
Left-Panel. As a matter of fact,
I think that will cause more confusion than ever since I think the
action is actually creating a
short cut of some sort.
I really don't know how Thunar is currently showing things and I think
the GUI has been confused
by the actions taken. I don't know how Thunar keeps track of where
things may be.
I don't know how to "reset" Thunar. It *may* be helpful to post a
screenshot of your Thunar
online.
I would consider either deleting the user "bobg" on ws1 and then
recreating the user. Making sure
the uid and gid of the new user are 1000. Or I would change the name
and uid/gid of bobg
and then make a new user bobg.
To me part of the problem/confusion comes from naming the share mount
points and a system the
same as the protocol.

My first thought is I don't like any of those options. I would rather
wait for a new release, FC-33 in September if I understand what I read.
I might be willing to "reset" Thunar but I wonder if that would be
enough, the 'dead' smb appears in Nautilus also so they use the same
file source.
/ will reserve my decision of what to do next, perhaps nothing then.
I appreciate your help, obviously it is costing you sleep this morning,
thank you,
