[Samba] Problem mounting with credentials file

[Dale Schroeder]

I experienced the same thing mounting a WD Netcenter drive.  I also 
found nothing through Google.  My workaround was to use smbfs instead of 
cifs.  However, since smbfs is to be eliminated at some point, have you 
tried Ethy's suggestion, and did it work?

Try

username = myusername
password = mypassword

(note the whitespaces)
