                ^^^^^^^^^^
This seems to be incorrect for smbfs

Try 
	/server/share /path/to/mount_point \
		username=WindowsUsername,\
		password=WindowsPassword

	or 
		credentials=YourCredentialFile

Take a look at "man smbmount".


The uid and gid parameters for the 'local' view aka unix view.
