I have written a nagios plugin in Perl that checks for
the availability of shares and printers an Windows 
or Samba Servers using smbclient.

I'm using it for a while now in production with some NT servers.
You could test if it works well with samba, too. (It should, but I 
have not testet it).
I just sent it in to nagiosplug-devel.

from the code:
# this script checks for smb shares on a windows server
# the shares to check for are given with parameter "check"
# and can be Disks or Printers, depending on Parameter "type"
# type maybe "Disk" or "Printer"
# Return codes:
# "OK" if all tested shares are there
# "WARNING" if there are smbclient errors
# "CRITICAL"if at least one share is not listed at the queried server
# "UNKNOWN" if it doesn't get a response from the server within timeout

# example:
# check_smbshares.pl -H server -D Domain -U user -P Password -T type -C share1,share2
