smbmount only mounts, smbfs provides file access. There is a difference.


You may want to try Linux 2.2.16-pre2. It has included a patch to try to
chmod and then unlink again, if the first unlink fails. It should also
work to copy the unlink change from 2.2.16-pre2 to whatever version you
need/want to run.

The patch to upgrade 2.2.15 to 2.2.16-pre2 is of course available as
ftp://ftp.de.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/2.2.16pre/pre-patch-2.2.16-2.gz
