I'm no expert on GNOME stuff but I thought it does so through gnome-vfs.

gnome-vfs2.spec has:
License: LGPLv2 and LGPL+ and GPL+
# the daemon and the library are LGPLv2
# the modules are LGPL+ and GPL+

libsmbclient is used in modules/smb-method.c, which carries a GPLv2+ notice.  
(Dunno if omission of GPLv2+ qualifies as a bug in gnome-vfs2's License tag.)

I also checked xine-lib, it is GPLv2+ so should be no problem.
