[Samba] Samba share to access windows folders in linux.

Hi,
I am trying to access folders on a windows system on a linux system using
the command,
 
smbmount '//a.b.c.d/CCViews/abcd/abcd_Linux_dev' '/root/pqrs/LinuxDev' -o
username=abcd/<domain>,uid=abcd,gid=abcd
 
This prompts for a password and I give the correct domain password here. It
gives me the error:
21896: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an
invalid share name)
 
However, if I try to access some other folder other than the folders under
CCViews(highlighted above) on the same machine, I am able to make the samba
share.
(Note that CCViews is a folder having clearcase views of different people)
 
Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Divya.
