	No no...  This is the syntax for the new smbmount that's in the Samba
package.  He is apparently stuck with the old kernel, smbfs, and smbmount.
His syntax is correct for that older version.  Trouble is that the older
version is no longer supported.  I certainly don't support it.

	You probably have the newer kernel (> 2.1.70) with the newer
smbfs and newer smbmount.  Unfortunately, that was a pretty severe change
and included a significantly different command syntax.
