Late to the game, but... I would add a "-t cifs" to the above command
line just to be utterly sure. Eg:
mount -t cifs -o uid=bobg,credentials=/home/bobg/cred //192.168.50.149/home/share /media/smb
When you have that working, you can assemble the fstab entry from the
working incantation.
It is very annoying that mount doesn't what _what_ caused the error(2).
One thing that occurs to me in the above command is that samba shares
are not paths. Normally (presume a samba server and not a Windows
server) the smb.conf has something like:
[sharename]
path = /home/share
and whatever other options. With that, what you ask to mount is the
share name. So:
mount -t cifs -o uid=bobg,credentials=/home/bobg/cred //192.168.50.149/sharename /media/smb
You can't ask a Samba server for an arbitrary path, you need to ask for
a share name.
