The difference is that mount changes your PATH to "" when it starts. That 
PATH makes execvp (on Linux) use the system default of /bin:/usr/bin.

The only error here appears to be in the rpm used, you probably have
smbmnt in /usr/sbin while it should be in /usr/bin.


("should" means, that is where smbmount is looking - if someone packages
 it differently but doesn't change where smbmount looks then they have
 broken it.)
