These would be correct entries in /etc/samba/fstab when a user is in a 
domain. Just tested ...

//$windows/$share         /mnt/public     \ 
username=$domainuser,password=$domainpasswd,uid=$linuxuid,gid=linuxuid,rw

.. all in one line of course.

Reason for the errors could have been that $domainuser does not need 
to have something like "DOMAIN\USER" in order to login, because if the 
local samba-server is already a member of a domain the username is 
authenticated against a domain-controller anyway.

So this is more a User-Error here. But you could add an additional way 
to mount a smb-share if someone is using "$domain\$domainuser", 
because of the above written like this ...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In first place try "$domainuser" only as this is for Domain-Members.
In second place try "$domain\$domainuser" because it could be that we 
are in a workgroup.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe it would be good anyway to let the user choose if his machine is 
a domain-machine or a workgroup-machine when connecting to a smb-share 
to prevent errors in advance?

Anyways the move of smbmounts to /etc/samba/smbfstab should be done.

bis dahin - kind regards
