Trusts between domains are not a feature of SBS as explained in the
limitations of SBS in the link below.

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=295765

What you could try is have the user logon to his computer as a local [non
domain] user, create a user account for the user in the other domain with
that logon/password and then have him try to access the share or create a
local user account on the computer that offers the share and have the user
try to access the share with that username/password keeping in mind that he
may have to enter credentials as in computername\username so that the
computer knows the user is trying to access the share as a local user and
not a domain user. To allow unathenticated access to a share [kind of
scary] then enable the guest account on the computer offering the share and
include the everyone group in both the share and ntfs permissions for ONLY
the shares that you want to allow access without authentication. You may
find that you need to give the guest account a password and you might need
to tweak security [be sure to document changes from default] options for
anonymous access on the Windows 2003 Server offering the share. Local
Security Policy can be accesses via secpol.msc. --- Steve
