You could possibly install the NSF client that Microsoft has for Windows
and skip Samba entirely.
Just my $0.02

Samba implements SMB, which is Windows method of network file sharing.
unix to unix works much better with NFS. Assuming this Samba server
is in fact unix based, you can run both NFS and Samba concurrently, use
NFS for the unix/linux clients, and SMB for Windows clients.
re: your login scheme... Centos is a multiuser system... what if two
users are logged in concurrently, who's /mnt/pictures would you want?
NFS systems often put a users entire home directory on the network
server, and mount it at login as /home/servername/username
