Looks like you have some syntax issues and some weird options.  Try:

admin -fstype=smbfs,username=XXXX,password=XXXX,workgroup=XXXX       
://server/data

One line, of course.  You also might want to use the credentials= option
so that you can have your username/password info in a seperate file.

Oh, and you do mean "admin" not "admin$" right?
