I just tested it with:

//server/share    /mnt/tmp   smb   username=urban,password=xxx  0 0

I have an old version of mount so I get an error like this:

cola:~#mount error: Device or resource busy
Please refer to the smbmnt(8) manual page
smbmnt failed: 255
mount.smb: ioctl failed, res=-1
Could not umount /mnt/tmp: Device or resource busy


But the mount works. The latest util-linux is supposed to fix this I
believe.
