Hime,
You can certainly do this, but you may need to be a little more specific on what you mean by "access". As you can see from the snippet below, there are different stages that may or may not be important. (I just filtered on "smb" after connecting to my fileserver).

The first two frames show the open request/response sequence. In my case I had permission to access the file, however if I was denied access (and hence obtained a different response), in your case do you count this or not.
The next two frames, show the client getting the basic attributes of the file, but not reading the contents. Again, is this an "access"
Finally the last two frames show a read request of the contents. In some case I may only be partially reading a file, so what constitutes an "access".
The data is all available for your interpretation.
You can use appropriate filters in Statistics:IO Graphs to get something useful.For instance maybe you should just count successful file open responses.
To do this you enter "(smb.cmd == 0x2d ) && (smb.nt_status == 0x00000000)" in the Filter field. You would then display at the appropriate sample interval the number of Packets/Tick. (This assumes one response per packet).
Of course this shows all of the Open responses - even if they are used for enumerating directories to display file information in a window. You may need to investigate Read or Write Reponses (the issue there though is there will be usually many response for each files. So in this case you would need to a little extra processing, possibly associating file paths with File IDs, and then making a decision on the Read/Writes as to what you are interested in.
Hopefully this will give you an idea of where to further explore your request.
