Firstly put it under /etc/fstab - you have better control over the mounting and unmounting process including unmounting shares while shuttign down. Secondly I think your problem stems from the fact that smbfs like nfs will retry indefinitely if a share becomes unavilable - this can have serious implications on the server. The way around is to understand how the hard and soft mount options works. Read the details under the nfs section in mount and decide which one is more important. Remember hard mount is the default and that is what you would usually want unless your apps really know how to handle unrealible network file systems.
