Hi I have the custom firmware installed and Samba is turned on. I thought I should be able to access the files by connecting via smb://ipaddress on my mac but I can not get it to work.
Any ideas?

Try NFS rather than SMB (you need the nfs-utils package installed).

I know diddly about Macs, but "can not get it to work" doesn't exactly give a lot away does it?

Sorry it was saying could not connect. With NFS installed it now says permission denied.

It is extremely difficult to offer any suggestions without knowing exactly what you did and exactly what happened as a result.
I know nothing about Macs but there is a lot of information you can find via Googling, say, "mac nfs client"
When you tried to connect to the Humax NFS server, what address did you use? I ask because on my Ubuntu system the address I use is 192.168.1.200:/mnt/hd2, rather than just 192.168.1.200 (where 198.168.1.200 is the static IP of the Humax).
As I remember I just installed the Hummy NFS package on the HDR. That was all I needed to do. I didn't install the Hummy portmap package - mainly because I couldn't find it on the list of available packaged - so perhaps it has been rolled up into the Hummy NFS package. (As I use Ubuntu Server at as a client, I also had to install "nfs-common" there but that is for Ubuntu, not a Mac.)
