There is an smbfs module and a cifs module in the kernel. The smbfs module
is deprecated; use cifs (i.e. 'mount -t cifs...')
Trying to use smbfs will yield the error message below; using cifs will get
you where you want to go; I did the same thing, and had the same problem; my
post, along with a similar response, is somewhere back in the mailing list
archive.

I believe smbfs has been dropped in favour of cifs, since smbfs is not
maintained anymore.
