There are 2 problems:
1) you use "-t smbmount" instead of "-t smbfs"
2) you use smbmount-2.0.6 syntax, but, unless you upgraded your system,
redhat60 comes with 2.0.5 I think.

2.0.5 syntax is
smbmount //$server/$share $mount_point -U$user%$pass

2.0.6 syntax is
mount -t smbfs -o username=$user,password=$pass  //$srv/$shr
$mount_point
(all in one line)
