SMB/Debian Network copy issue

I'm having an issue with a networked drive ( I don't have root access to ) - I can make an smb:// connection to it, it's a CIFS system and it's used by the intranet to share files ( it's definitely functional as other people are using it ) .. for some reason when I mount it on my Debian using Places -> Connect to Server I can get to it fine, but whenever I attempt to copy a file to my local hard drive it fails and says:

"Check if you are able to retrieve files using smbclient:

smbclient is a client that can ´talk´ to an SMB/CIFS server. It
offers an interface similar to that
of the ftp program (see ftp(1)). Operations include things
like getting files from the server to
the
local machine, putting files from the local machine to the server,
retrieving directory information
from the server and so on.

You can also try smbget, a wget-like utility for downloading files over SMB.

smbstatus can help you debug Samba connections, but you probably won't be able to run it without sudo permissions.
