Actually, it has no relations to any windows limitations. The samba server is 
on a Gentoo box and the machine I try smbmount on is a Gentoo box as well. As 
a matter of fact I do have a windows PC, and it can reach the samba share 
with no problem at all. It is definitely smbmount bug (as I've mentioned 
already smbclient works perfectly well.
In any case thanks for trying to help :) It seems that there is nobody else on 
the list who is interested in the bug.
