What is the command you use to mount?

Do you have smbmount and smbmnt in the path?
Do you have /sbin/mount.smbfs pointing to smbmount?

I believe that this is caused by mount attempting to mount without using
smbmount, and that if you check your kernel logs you will see an error
message from smbfs.

You should check the paths to smbmount and smbmnt, as well as checking
that they both are from the same samba version (if you upgraded from an
old version, ensure that none are from the old version).

Both commands should print a version number if executed without any other
parameters (if they do not, they are not 2.2 versions).
