have you checked the logs on the server?

istr having similar issue with smb mounts off a samba servers (running
on Debian/i386 and NetBSD/sparc64) with NetBSD/i386.  the same share
could be mounted from a NetBSD/sparc64 machine just fine.

i can't test right now but i found the logs:

[2005/08/14 21:44:25, 0] libsmb/nmblib.c:name_len(1337)
  PANIC: assert failed at libsmb/nmblib.c(1337)
[2005/08/14 21:44:25, 0] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(230)
  Invalid name length in session request

i remember capturing the TCP stream with tcpdump or ethereal and seeing
something odd.  even when i now capture a successful mount from a
Windows 2003 Server, wireshark reports:

 "Calling name: Illegal NetBIOS name (1st character not between A and Z
  in first-level encoding)"

and there are definitely more bugs lurking in netsmb.  e.g., every time
i mount a network share, i get this message from mount_smb(8):

 "a bug somewhere in the nb_name* code"
