That's why people take backups of their working configs ...

What Joel said, tell us what errors you get.

If the smbmount log looks ok, check what's in the kernel logs (or dmesg).

Beyond having smbfs working, you need smbmount linked as /sbin/mount.smbfs
if you use mount to mount, and you need smbmnt in a place where smbmount
can find it (in your path or in the samba installations "bindir").
