smbclient and smbmount do not yield same results

I am trying to connect with smbmount to a VAX/VMS system running, I
believe, PathWorks.

Using smbclient:
$ smbclient '\\cowboy\hopkins' -UHOPKINS -Icowboy
Added interface ip=199.187.33.84 bcast=199.187.33.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

However, using smbmount, yields:

$ smbmount //cowboy/hopkins Cowboy -UHOPKINS -Icowboy
Password: 
$ ls Cowboy

$

Why is it that my files show up with smbclient but not smbmount?  I
thought smbmount was just a wrapper for smbmount.  I get no error messages
at all.
