You can mount a Windows volume quite easily on the fly or permanently by
configuring you fstab file. The command to do this is...
mount -t cifs
It does take a bit of fiddling to get the credentials to automatically
work but once setup the process is painless.
The issue you are encountering has to do with spaces on the name. For
example, if I copy a shape file to the "My Documents" directory on my
Windows Mount, QGIS and gvSIG does not see the file. If I put the file
in "Data" and ensure the filename has no spaces, e.g.
"My_Shape_File.shp" then the issue disappears. The file appears in the
vector open dialog box.
I hope this helps.

Well... it seems there isn't a way to add a layer from network on Ubuntu.
LibreOffice has issues also to open files from network: you must first
to define a bookmark to network. After that, remote folder can be opened
but through this bookmark, which is recognized by other programs like
Inkscape and Gimp... but not by QGIS :-(.
Maybe this link can help you:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently (too
complicated for me), or maybe looking for /*ubuntu open file network*/
on Goolge. If so, please share your solution.
Good luck

I have Libreoffice on Ubuntu 12.04 and have no problems opening a
file on the remote NTFS machine. When I try to add a shapefile from
the remote machine to QGIS 2.0 that is running on the Ubuntu
machine, there is no network visible in the "file>open" browser. Is
there a way to add a shapefile from a remote computer when using Linux?
