Does anything change if you try from a different client e.g.
       "smbclient //IP_SAMBA_SERVER/user -U user%BLA"
or is it a similar error?  Does trying:
      "mount -t cifs //IP_SAMBA_SERVER/user /tmp/user -o
username=user,password=BLA,domain=DCC"
(ie adding the domain name) make any difference?   On the server have you
verified that the account
exists from the local systems perspective, not just from the Samba/LDAP
perspective(e.g. you can su to the account)?
