I dealt with something like this a while back.

On the local machine, mount the share as type cifs, not smbfs.  I 
also found I had to add "unix extensions = no" in the [global] 
section of the server's smb.conf -- it was a good thing I also 
administer that server.

If I recall, those were the only two changes which needed to be made 
when I started using -t cifs.

YMMV,

Joe
