The server disconnected.

smbmount uses almost exactly the same code as smbclient for connecting.
There have been some differences in which default values they find, for
example smbmount didn't always set a username so only specifying "guest"
didn't work.

- If you are not using the latest samba, try upgrading to 2.2.5.
- Check that smbmount and smbclient are from the same version.
- Play with various smbmount options, perhaps the server wants you to set
  the workgroup (domain) name or something like that.
