Do you compile with smbmount?

If you do so, read the manpage of mount:

-t vfstype
	...
    For  most  types all the mount program has to do is
    issue  a  simple  mount(2)  system  call,  and   no
    detailed   knowledge  of  the  filesystem  type  is
    required.  For  a  few  types  however  (like  nfs,
    smbfs,  ncpfs) ad hoc code is necessary. The nfs ad
    hoc code is built in, but smbfs and  ncpfs  have  a
    separate  mount program. In order to make it possi­
    ble to treat all types in a uniform way, mount will
    execute   the  program  /sbin/mount.TYPE  (if  that
    exists) when called with type TYPE.  Since  various
    versions  of  the  smbmount  program have different
    calling conventions, /sbin/mount.smb may have to be
    a shell script that sets up the desired call.

fm at fortytwo:~$ ls -l /sbin/mount.smb*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root  17 06-28 08:05 /sbin/mount.smb -> /usr/bin/smbmount
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root  17 06-28 08:05 /sbin/mount.smbfs -> /usr/bin/smbmount

I prefer debian systems. debian mount all local fs'es first. After
startup of networking, they setup the remote fs'es.
