[linux-cifs-client] Mounting CIFS gives me permission denied

Hello:

I have a Windows 2003 Small Business Server acting as the 
primary domain controller in a network for a client.  

In addition, I have a Windows 2000
server acting as a fileserver and as a backup domain
controller.

I just did a fresh install of Fedora Core 2 for a firewall
and routing machine.

I would like to mount one of the shares from the fileserver
to the Linux box, so I logged in as root and typed:
mount.cifs //192.168.1.2/GDrive /mnt/GDrive 
	-o user=[user],password=[pass],domain=[domain],ro
This is all on one line and the items in brackets []
are replaced with the appropriate values.

When I try this, I get:
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

And these messages appear on the /var/log/messages file:
Oct 10 00:19:03 www kernel:  CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13
Oct 10 00:19:03 www kernel:  CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13

I can mount this share on a windows machine with no problem.

I even tried it with the administrator account to no avail.

I checked the web and docs and I cant find anything to help.

I am pretty sure this is not a firewall problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
	Neil
