I looked at the man of mount.
Here is a section that might help:
      Since Linux 2.4.0 it is possible to remount part of the file  hierarchy
      somewhere else. The call is
             mount --bind olddir newdir
      After this call the same contents is accessible in two places.  One can
      also remount a single file (on a single file).

      This call attaches only (part of) a  single  filesystem,  not  possible
      submounts.  The entire file hierarchy including submounts is attached a
      second place using
             mount --rbind olddir newdir

I don't understand this --rbind but maybe it can help mount the
directory you need after the initial mount of the root dir.

Hi all,

 I am having trouble with smbmount.

 I am able to access a directory using smbclient. The root directory of the
share I am connecting to does not allow its directory to be listed. I don't
have control of the server. The directory that I want is a sub-sub
directory.

 so I do something like this:

 smbclient //servername/share -U username

 and then cd /some/deep/directory

 and I can see my files.

 I want to replicate this with smbmount:

 smbmount //servername/share /mnt/mountpoint -o username=username

 It does connect, but I cannot list the directory, nor change to my
directory.

 any ideas?

 Thanks,

 Jason
