The problem is solved. But it took quite some work i need to reinstall the samba
package. The samba mount part is now split into to parts. Later i will try to use
the original package. But as far as i know it doesn't work.

The input string is: smbmount \\\\k6-2\\d -c 'mount /mnt -u user -g group'

I hope Suse will deliver a new RPM package soon, to solve this problem. The man
pages don't say anything about this problem. I can imagine as 2.2.0pre7 kernel
support was just hackers support. But now it's getting more real.

I hope the suse patch file that is delivered to samba will also be edit as it's
not the up to date. it doesn't compile smbmount, smbmnt for example.
