For accessing Amahi shared folders/files on a Mac OS X computer, you use the Finder. Select the Go menu, then:

Connect to Server (Apple-K shortcut).
- Enter the Server Address: smb://hda/Movies (or the other HDA shares, like //hda/Docs or //hda/Music - you can set up as many as you have shares).
- Press the "+" sign beside the Server Address line, so the connection is saved as a favorite.
- Click Connect.
Complete the SMB/CIFS File System Authentication form:
- Domain: HDA
- Name: <your HDA username>
- Password: <your HDA user password>
- Check the Remember this password in my keychain so you can auto-connect in the future.
Enjoy, the mounted drive should appear now in the Finder and be available at /Volumes/Movies on your local system.

To set your system to auto-connect at login or startup, see this great intro article.
