Those ports are client side ports. smbmount does not use 27618 every time.
6041 is probably nmbd, and that is not a port it listens on.

You should have a rule that programs can use any internal port# and
connect to external port 139 (* -> 139).

You can specify an ip address with the ip=... option if it can't be found 
otherwise.
