Something else must be wrong. I have a scripts to sync my laptop and my desktop. Script's mount part is like this:
mount -t cifs -o iocharset=utf8,user=hede //192.168.2.2/$i /home/hede/Desktop/$i Maybe you should try using absolute path for mount point. And, about CIFS, I had experienced some strange issues with it. (not too strange ;) For example, when share's permissions is not convenient (am I using right word!), CIFS refuse to mount and give some strange errors, but smbfs mounts nicely, but you cannot acces files inside share. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQEVAwUBRpQGGXCg+7fCe3L1AQJenwgAsOiVlr5UdKxRXw/TZVW9vV3tvcVUhRXE k3Oa7rkS5jnYusVpT6TZb4QxMYnF93clLlc+/fItEE0GuYoa0OEiesv7mRR0Rmfh OeNbwHXDDxcYg5MIufR/ZNoyHtUKUbDIdplcaupXfBOrnhbRiraktHTeqqeQqWJd AtwEzm1gFy7OCJ/chBBNwdWp3iBuMDJ3FLnz/3/RLG9We3IBqQg/bDl0gSgaZ7QQ NjCB/T8A43NWCh3fzebq9LXbVwPID/WM3kOrrSrvVjXmUy2b75TzmcvZFnomsFD4 Fb8aZ0kQpqvFT3PekCUIszhdbkfpQtEinjZwOx1iWEdpFgvJwN8trg== =bAKH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
