Attempting to use smbmount to mount my windows home directory fails: (as root) mount -t smbfs -o username=aclrk //homedir-server/A/aclrk /home/aclrk/windows-home Password: 23129: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name) SMB connection failed This sharename exists; it's the exact same share I mount on my windows xp box. It also appears if I use smbclient (although I cannot get smbclient to go directly, it will only go to the top level share) Here verbose output: mount -t smbfs -o username=aclrk,debug=10 //bus-user1/A/aclrk /home/aclrk/smb mount.smbfs started (version 3.0.0) added interface ip=141.211.237.181 bcast=141.211.239.255 nmask=255.255.252.0 internal_resolve_name: looking up bus-user1#20 Opening cache file at /var/cache/samba/gencache.tdb Returning valid cache entry: key = NBT/BUS-USER1#20, value = 141.211.28.132:0, timeout = Mon Oct 13 15:07:13 2003 name bus-user1#20 found.

sorry but this is actually a limitation of smbmount. You might want to try cifsvfs instead.
