Even if the first smbmount fails, it still puts an entry into /etc/mtab. Check
it with
mount
and no parameters. When this happens it "eats" the mount point and weird things
happen.
I suggest you do an smbumount /mnt (or umount /mnt if that doesn't work) and be
sure that mount shows nothing mounted there and then try again.
This is a bug, I just don't know where (samba, smbmount, smbfs, etc?)
