Unfortunately, you didn't mention which shares you mounted where.
I assume you're trying to execute the 'ln -s' command on the Linux
system, not on the Windoze system, since Windoze doesn't have such a
command.
If /usr/src/cvstree is some directory on the windoze system that you've
mounted on that path in the Linux system, and /home/chris is a REAL
Linux directory on the linux system AND you have write access to that
directory and read access to the /usr/src/cvstree/test.c file, you
should have no problem creating the symlink.
If, on the other hand, /home/chris is a directory in a DOS/Windoze
filesystem, you can't create symlinks THERE, since the DOSdoze filesystems
don't support it.
