Does it work if you do "username=bbodnyk,workgroup=fciam" ?

Because they are different programs doing different things? :)

Lots of code is shared, but some isn't. It is possible to compare them and
copy code from smbclient to smbmount. The source files to start with are:

source/client/client.c
source/client/smbmount.c

Another reason might be if the programs are from different samba versions.
