session setup error with cifs

[Richard]

Since smbfs has been removed from the 2.6.1 kernel, I could no longer
use smbfs and am forced to change to cifs. None of my shares on
different machines will mount.
I've changed my fstab to read "user=" from "username=" and "smbfs" to
"cifs" - but still no mounting.
I'm all upgraded against development since today.

#mount /mnt/hughsie/albums/

Message displayed on screen:

Entry in /etc/samba/smb.conf on server:
[albums]
 comment = Albums
 path = /mnt/data/albums
 writeable = yes

 I need to use this share - and I the only way I can mount it is to use
2.6.1-1.47 with smbfs.
Return code = -13 is hardly usefull! Google didn't seem to help, but the
samba website suggested I should have a mount.cifs in /sbin - and an
associated manpage.

Any ideas - thanks for any input.
