It's a work in progress.  Hopefully it will be fixed in 2.0.6--that's
the word, anyhow.  For now, try defining SMBFS_DEBUG in the top of the
smbmount.c somewhere (it's in there, just commented out), and recompile
smbmount.  That seems like the easiest *!temporary!* fix for now,
anyhow.

Worked for me, hopefully for you.
