Do an strace on your mount commant (strace -f) and watch how smbmount
fails to execvp("smbmnt", ...).

The path mount sets up for smbmount isn't necessarily the same as the one
you have in your shell.

The quick fix is to get smbmnt into /usr/bin, the better fix is to fix the
rpms (or one of the patches in the rpm?) to install smbmnt into BINDIR or
to replace BINDIR with where it places smbmnt.
