I got it from a long night with lots of coffee. I was thinking smbmount
with -o, sorry. Was playing with both.

Let's try this again, then:

      smbclient \\\\MYHOST\MYSHARE password -U username -W workgroup

Yay, it works! Duh. The wonders of a good night's sleep and a gentle email
prod.

I figure it's easier than compiling a new kernel for the first time. :)
