You need smbmount to mount smbfs. If you compiled and configured yourself,
did you add --with-smbmount ?
(and you are of course using samba 2.0.3)
The default dir for the samba binaries are:
/usr/local/samba/bin/
this is most likely not in your default path.

You may have a problem with \ being used to escape things. mount uses /,
smbmount also understands / (and so do smbclient). But of course you
properly ':ed everything as the manpage shows.

Yes, this is what smbfs does. You do have smbfs comiled in your kernel (or
as a module) ?

No need to be ashamed. :) Lots of people here are doing that ...
