John, I wasn't able to get the mount -t smbfs command to work properly
-- smbmount and mount don't make it clear how the parameters are passed
from mount to smbmount (which does the actual mounting) - thus I haven't
been able to use fstab to mount smb shares. I had to write a SysV init
script to do this.

Are you mounting your smb shares using fstab? What is the fstab syntax?
