I'm doing this as root, so i'd think that there can't be a local problem,
and running the mount command manually works ok, its just via fstab that
bombs.  Here's what stracing 'mount -a' shows me:

readlink("/mnt/builds", 0xbff62b80, 4096) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
stat64("/sbin/mount.cifs", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=18812, ...}) = 0
clone(child_stack=0,
flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD,
child_tidptr=0xb7f15928) = 10372
wait4(-1, mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
[{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 255}], 0, NULL) = 10372
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
exit_group(255)                         = ?

I've never changed my password with smbpasswd.  To be honest, i'm afraid
to touch the password at this point, since its working everywhere, and i
ended up in a ring of hell the last time i changed it with servers not all
syncing up until almost 12 hours later.  crappy M$.

OK, i guess i'll take a look at that when i have some time.  thanks.
