[linux-cifs-client] Why is this not working

A line from /etc/fstab on a old Fedore Core 3 machine:

        //pfs/lts /v smbfs uid=ichudov,password="",fmask=777,dmask=777,rw 0 0


is working great. Tested 5 minutes ago. This line from a new Fedora 5
machine with new cifs-client is NOT working:

        //pfs/lts /vc cifs   uid=ichudov,password="",file_mask=777,dir_mask=777,rw 0 0


Why would it be? When I do mount, I get the following: 

root:/etc ==> mount /vc
retrying with upper case share name
mount error 6 = No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

It is really upsetting and frustrating. The messages are not exactly helpful either. 

More info:
