Ok... That keeps me from running down after a wild goose chase.
It's not the password cache then...
The error=-3 is telling me that the smbmount daemon is gone, or didn't
get registered right, or blew a core ball, or something. The smbfs module
is trying to signal it to rebuild the connection and it's not there. When
this happens, can you do a "ps ax" and check if there is an smbmount process
running?
If there is not, then the problem is to determine what happened to it.
What you might want to do is to do the mount and then find the process
id of the smbmount daemon. Once you have that, run gdb on the smbmount
binary and "attach {PID}" from the gdb prompt and then "continue". If
smbmount exits for some reason, you'll get a gdb prompt back with the exit
reason. If it's some error, you can type "where" and get a traceback.
That will tell me a lot, if this thing is exiting prematurely.
