I had the same problem with my nightly backup (smbmount win9x and copy
stuff onto linux), I had to add a "sleep x" between smbmount and "cd" to
the smbmounted dir.

I have 2.2.13, samba-2.0.6

test1 is a dir with some stuff inside (on linux side)

==
mount -t smb -o guest //GO/C test1
cd test1
ls
sleep 1
ls
==

The first ls shows the linux content of test1, the second ls shows the
win9x stuff (smbmounted).

So smbmount returns before having mounted the Win9x dir.
