Edit:
Spoke to soon! I have managed to mount my shares successfully and can now access them through the mount-place in xbmc (I'm using xbian). However, when trying to set things up with sickbeard/nzbGet they can't create any files on the directory, so I'm guessing I have not set the read/write access properly.
The user profile (xbian) has read/write privalages on the share and when edited the fstab i made sure i put rw in the options.
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

I have finally found the answer. I don't know how i never came across this site in all my searches (or why i didn't try Raspberry Pi's forums to start with!) but this thread gave me the answer.
Thought I would share it in case anyone else had the same issues.
The line used in /etc/fstab was:
Hope this helps

How do you set xbian to mount a share folder at boot?
I have a 1TB HD plugged into my Airport Extreme that is shared over my home network via SMB. I can access the files on the hard in xbmc, add them to the library and play them. But I need to be able to mount the share to my system so I can use it with nzbGet, Sickbear, etc. I would plug it into my Pi directly but it is formatted with HFS+ and I have nowhere to put the ≈500GB of media on it while I re-format, nor do I particularly want to chance the file system as HFS+ obviously works best with my Mac.
I have found a number of site on the internet that suggest editing /etc/fstab to get the share to mount at boot but I can’t seem to get it to work. In fact even when I try to manually mount the drive I just get a variety of errors. Being a Linux noob I really need some help as this is driving me insane.
Hoping to hear from someone soon as I really want to be able to get going properly with this funky piece of kit and what is an awesome distro for it!
