    Yep, I think this is where you are coming unstuck.

    (This is not a verified statement, just off the top of my head)
    When Windows authenticates to a network share it tries your logged on credentials(ie windows username etc), then tries the guest credentials.
    If the guest works, you have an "authenticated session"(even though it is a guest) with the CIFS/SMB server.
    If you then try and access another share that requires different authentication, it fails and prompts for a user/pass. But the kicker is that Windows will not then "renegotiate", and you get the Multiple sessions error.
    As I mentioned, the fix I use is to create a batch that deletes the session, then creates one with the right user/pass combo and you should be fine.
