Not sure if this helps but I have the same problem and no idea why. I am using RHEL 4 update 3.

Edited:
I know the mount point exists because I can connect to it via nautilus with no problems at all and smbclient -I 192.168.1.1 -L //fs1 works fine and list the share.
Folling the trail of thought, it seems as though cifs is not a complete replacement for the old SMB mounting so the problem I suggest is that you should be using the smbfs filesystem and not cifs. You can do this by using mount.smbfs which should then mount it. Now I am getting a corruption with the directory listing which I guess is to do with codepages, etc. If I can figure this out then maybe I can get it to work .
I am suffering with exactly the same issue. using mount.cifs I get the error 20.... and using mount.smbfs it seems to work but browsing the dir just shows rubbish. If you get any further please post your findings
Guys, I have a strange problems with cifs and Samba. Maybe you could help me as well.
I can write new files on a share, I can update them but I can't write on special occasions. And because of this thunderbird (with a remote profile) does not work as well.
