ncpfs is a network file system - it will not work at all like this. I
don't think the linux kernel can read netware filesystems (nss) at all.
That's like taking a drive out of a windows machine and trying to
mount it as smbfs, or taking a solaris formatted frive and trying to
mount it as nfs ...
On the other hand if the filesystem is nwfs and not nss, there is
something called fenris that lets you mount them ... google around for
it.
I think your only option here is to mount it on a netware machine and
share it over the network ...

the best I think you can do is over the network here.
