Doesn't your UNC name have a / instead of a \ between server and share name? Isn't this simply that you have a bogus UNC (we have a "unc=" parm because we can't rely on the mount source device to be a properly formatted unc name)? mount.cifs.c sets the unc name to standard "universal naming convention" form ie \\server\share (ie "\\\\" + server_name + "\\" + share_name and on optional prefix path may follow). parse_mount_options in the kernel cifs.ko will correct a misformatted unc name if the slashes before the server name are // rather than \\ but AFAIK does not have a way of fixing a / to \ between the server name and share name (since it apparently could be valid to some servers albeit very strange name).
