I am experiencing the exact same issue. Further, we have tried several
times using mount.cifs, and that always returns a logon failure from
the server. Also, I can not seem to use the credentials= option to
mount.cifs.

As the OP said, simple browsing, getting and putting with smbclient
works fine. Why can we not *mount* these shares?
