Title:
  Cannot mount file system that works with smbclient

Status in “cifs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  smbclient -U guest -N "//server/share location"

  works fine, but:

  $ sudo mount -t cifs -o guest "//server/share location" /mnt
  mount error(22): Invalid argument
  Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

  dmesg only shows the same error again:

  [111147.812171] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22

  I have also tried using a user name, with the same success with
  smbclient, and the same error with mount.cifs.

  This used to work under natty. I can find references to a problem with
  the 3.0 kernel, but I've tried it on an oneiric machine with the
  latest natty kernel, and get the exact same error.
