OK, I know you are out of options, but Thank You for your help!

  I've tried all of the tests you have suggested, but I still get the same error
attempting to mount the '/' share from server phoinix. I've tried with the
credentials file under /root/ and with domain=WORKGROUP =rlfpllc and without a
workgroup altogether. No difference:

[14:45 providence:~/cnf] # mount -t cifs //phoinix/config /mnt/phx-cfg -o
credentials=/root/cnf/mountcfile,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,sec=ntlmssp
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[14:45 providence:~/cnf] # mount -t cifs //phoinix/config /mnt/phx-cfg -o
credentials=/root/cnf/mountcfile,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,sec=ntlmv2
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[14:45 providence:~/cnf] # mount -t cifs //phoinix/config /mnt/phx-cfg -o
credentials=/root/cnf/mountcfile,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

  I then compared mounting the '/' share from host nemesis:

[14:50 providence:~/cnf] # mount.cifs //nemesis/config /mnt/nm-cfg/ -o
uid=1000,credentials=/root/cnf/mountcfile,noperm
<success>
[14:50 providence:~/cnf] # mount
<snip>
//phoinix/samba on /mnt/phx type cifs
(rw,relatime,vers=1.0,sec=ntlm,cache=loose,unc=\\phoinix\samba,username=david,uid=1000,forceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.7.16,unix,posixpaths,serverino,acl,noperm,rsize=1048576,wsize=65536,actimeo=1)
//phoinix/david on /mnt/phx-david type cifs
(rw,relatime,vers=1.0,sec=ntlm,cache=loose,unc=\\phoinix\david,username=david,uid=1000,forceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.7.16,unix,posixpaths,serverino,acl,noperm,rsize=1048576,wsize=65536,actimeo=1)
//nemesis/config on /mnt/nm-cfg type cifs
(rw,relatime,vers=1.0,sec=ntlm,cache=loose,unc=\\nemesis\config,username=david,domain=rlfpllc,uid=1000,forceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.7.61,unix,posixpaths,acl,noperm,rsize=1048576,wsize=65536,actimeo=1)

  The nemesis '/' share mounted fine regardless of the value of domain= in the
credentials file, the only thing that changed was the value of ,domain= as
reported by mount. (I don't think it does anything since my setup is standalone)

  So I'm just stuck. I don't know what in the heck changed, but something has
definitely changed. Maybe someone else following this thread has some additional
idea (hint, hint Bartlett, Allison, Terpstra, Tridgell.. anybody??)
