...assuming that's really the problem. It does seem to me that it is some sort of name resolution issue, but it may have more to do with the multi-homed nature of your setup. Did you try: mount.cifs //CL0/c /mnt ? If mount.cifs is not converting the case, that should fix the problem. Curious to know...
