You could take the code from smbmnt and put it in smbmount, but you can't
drop it completely.

I have sent it off-list.

You are confusing kernel codepages with samba codepages. They have nothing
to do with each other. The kernel codepages are used by kernel
filesystems, such as smbfs. The samba codepages are used by samba
programs, such as smbmount and your error messages are about these.

You need to build and install the samba codepages. Or if you don't want
them disable them (don't know how) or edit the samba source to not request
them.
