I don't believe you can map a drive letter to a subdirectory of a mountpoint,
just the mountpoint itself (unless you're using Microsoft's DFS stuff):
If you're logged into your Windows account with the same username/password set
on the SAMBA side, you can simply do:
net use S: \\MARIGOLD\home
If you need to use a different username on the SAMBA side, you can insert
"yourusername" as follows:
net use S: \\MARIGOLD\home /user:yourusername
If you want the drive mapping to persist between reboots, you will want to set
this flag as well:
net use S: \\MARIGOLD\home /user:yourusername /persistent:yes
and you can delete the drive letter mapping with:
net use S: /d
Also, never forget "nbtstat", it's a useful command for finding machines on
your network and troubleshooting NetBIOS naming issues:
nbtstat -A 192.168.1.2
nbstat -a MARIGOLD

Try not to map to a directory below a share and see if that helps. Only via
Microsoft's DFS can you do freaky things like this - and you're on your own
in this case (I've really bare touched DFS, and never with SAMBA/SAMBA-TNG).
