I remember gettng stuck at this point a couple of times and I think it was always around the smb config that I was able to fix it. I also notice that the error message seems to have the incorrect path \ntinstallinstall. I would guess that the first slash is used as an escape character in the setting file which is why you get the wrong path and no mount. That would also explain why it works manually.
