Hey Jon,

If you're open to alternatives, you might consider using SSHFS. This lets you mount the IFS on your Mac (its available for Windows, Linux, etc too) using the SSH server that runs on IBM i. In my experience this is much more stable than using SMB/CIFS (i.e. Windows Networking) and a lot more secure than using NFS (which really should only be used in a controlled environment such as a VPN or secured LAN)

SSHFS works really well, and uses the underlying cryptography and security of SSH.

I found this tutorial with a quick Google.  Check it out!
