What are the permissions on the mount point? Unless you have 
/mnt/wherever set to be rwx for the user, it most probably won't mount.

This is what mounts my mp3 share:

//squirrel/mp3 /mnt/mp3 smbfs 
username=*****,password=*****,rw,users,noauto 0 0

And the /mnt/mp3 directory has 777 permissions.

cheers,
