For most types all the mount program has to do is
issue a simple mount(2) system call, and no
detailed knowledge of the filesystem type is
required. For a few types however (like nfs,
smbfs, ncpfs) ad hoc code is necessary. The nfs ad
hoc code is built in, but smbfs and ncpfs have a
separate mount program. ...

Mount options for smbfs
Just like nfs, the smb implementation expects a binary
argument (a struct smb_mount_data) to the mount system
call. This argument is constructed by smbmount(8) and the
current version of mount (2.6c) does not know anything
about smb.

Are you using mount, smbmnt, or smbmount? IIRC, I have always used
smbmount.. Also, do you have the smbfs filesystem compiled in the kernel
(or as a module.. is it loaded)? I remember in my early linux days I
could never get smbmount to work unless I compiled smbfs into the kernel..
actually I think it was enabling windows bug compatibility option thing
that got it working (kernel 2.0.36, I think). I think perhaps that option
has disappeard with recent kernels.
