Hi Joe,

I just tested and experience the same problem. You need to use cifs 
instead of smbfs.  See this blog:
    http://www.webcon.net/~izaah/blog/2005_12_01_archive.html

To mount:
    mount -t cifs //some_host/some_share /mnt/some_mount_point -o 
"username=user%password"

fstab:
    //some_host/some_share /mnt/some_mount_point cifs 
credentials=/etc/.smbpw 0 0
