smbfs has little to do with smbd/nmbd; samba is the server (user-space),
while smbfs is the client part (kernel-space), compiled in the kernel or
as a module.
the error message means smbfs is not supportred by your kernel, so you
must either recompile your kernel with smbfs support, or load the
relevant module (something like smbfs.o i guess)
Wether the smb service ( meaning smbd+nmbd i guess) is running or not
makes no difference.
and also, instead of using mount -t smbfs, you'd rather use smbmount
(man smbmount)
