	No...  You just managed to update your kernel to a newer version
and failed to update smbmount.  That message is generated from the OLD
smbfs version of smbmount.  You need the smbmount from the Samba package.
There was a major change in the smbfs/smbmount interface that resulted
in and incompatibility.  This actually occured quite some time ago, so
I would guess you are running an older distribution, RedHat 5.2 or older.
