So some of you will probably think I'm a dork because it took me so long to find it, and I'm a little embarassed to be posting this. But I also have my rule that if it took me more than 15 minutes to figure something out, then I should put it on the Internet for someone else.
The reason I wasn't finding it before is because I was using the mount command to show me everything that was mounted on my machine. Then I looked for the name of the server to show up, and I didn't see it. So I assumed that it wasn't mounted or was mounted in some strange way. Today, I had to open up a web page that I keep stored on one of those shares and I glanced up at the path. There I saw that there was a hidden folder in my home directory called .gvfs. I looked at my mount output again and saw this line.
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/kevin/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=kevin)
So gnome is using Fuse to mount these file shares, and only a generic entry shows up in the mount table. I opened up a terminal and navigated to the .gvfs folder in my home directory. A quick ls showed me that there was a folder for every server that I had connected to with Gnome.
So now if you're a dork like me and you didn't know that, you can finally put this question to bed.
