Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

westk[@westek]:/home/westk:> smbmount //faculty/web mnt -o username=westk

westk[@westek]:/home/westk:> ls mnt

So this syntax doesn't work.

From what I've seen elsewhere, I've come to the conclusion that mounting using a NETBIOS name is broken in cifs. Using an IP address or DNS name seems to work better.
