Nothing, except some missing details in this report I think (I assume you
get a smb_retry message too, if you don't then something is wrong).
smb_trans2_request: result=-5, setting invalid
smb_retry: new pid=1701, generation=2
The above is simply smbfs/smbmount renewing a connection that has been
terminated for some reason (new pid & generation is a success message,
"smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3" would be an error).
It's a bit too verbose perhaps, but it's also a common place for
failures.
If things do stop working, could you:
a) try using smbmount/smbmnt from samba-2.0.7
b) if that doesn't help (or you already do), try this patch that tries to
make smbmount survive reconnection attempts during server reboots.

No idea, but we all miss it.
