Something else to note, and this is what mislead me initially, if you
try to use /sbin/mount.cifs instead of smbmount (i.e. because you want
to use the kernel cifs instead of smbfs), it doesn't work because only
smbfs and not CIFS is compiled in.  Using CIFS instead of smbfs is
considered the correct thing to do nowadays since smbfs is unmaintained.
