If I'm trying to do work with scp or cp from a mount point, the path
doesn't exist.

What is the best/easiest way to have, for example, \\windowsserver\share
mounted to \mnt\windows so I can use command line file utilities?

Put it in /etc/fstab ie

//server/share /media/windows smb
uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,credentials=/home/user/.smbpw 0 0

Dont forget to apt-get smbfs

some windows servers require you to use cifs instead of smb for the
filesystem.

Make ~/.smbpw and put

username=yourusername
password=yourpassword
