I'm using mount(8) to mount the samba share. From the man page:

       (iii)  Normally, only the superuser can mount file systems.  However,
when fstab contains the user
       option on a line, then anybody can mount the corresponding system.

       Thus, given a line
              /dev/cdrom  /cd  iso9660  ro,user,noauto,unhide
       any user can mount the iso9660 file system found on his CDROM using
the command
              mount /dev/cdrom
       or
              mount /cd
       For more details, see fstab(5).  Only the user that mounted a
filesystem can unmount it again.  If
       any  user  should be able to unmount, then use users instead of user
in the fstab line.  The owner
       option is similar to the user option, with the restriction that the
user must be the owner of  the
       special  file.  This may be useful e.g. for /dev/fd if a login script
makes the console user owner
       of this device.

I tried to take it out, and sure enough, mount(8) refused to mount the
share. Is it better to use smbmnt instead?

Back to my problem, I still have it ;(. I've rerun the test with debug=4,
I've included all relevant info below. Any idea? Why didn't I get more info
in smbmount.log?
