On my server, with security = user, I have the following share:
[Music]
        comment = Music Collection
        browseable = yes
        writable = yes
        locking = no
        public = yes
        path = /mnt/Music

Now I can mount this as guest fine with smbfs, but not with cifs:

[root at Nova mnt]# mount -t smbfs -o guest //192.168.1.3/Music /mnt/Music
Anonymous login successful
[root at Nova mnt]# umount Music
[root at Nova mnt]# mount -t cifs -o guest //192.168.1.3/Music /mnt/Music
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
[root at Nova mnt]# modinfo cifs
