[Samba] Failed to find real path for mount point

[Michael Wisse]

Hello!

I try to mount an smb share with:
	smbmount //filer/$USER ~/filer -o username=$USER

and I get following error message:
	"Failed to find real path for mount point"

What does it mean? The mount point is accessible and the owner of the mount 
point is USER.

Whith an earlier version of samba I can mount the share with this command.

Regards and thank for advice.
