Binary package hint: samba

This mount command in Ubuntu does not work -- the directory listing is
indecipherable:

scott at U904-209NVD1-95031:~$ sudo mount.cifs
//pc1n7i01d03.us.dell.com/DTTUATNAS2/training /tmp/mnttest/ --verbose -o
credentials=/etc/.cred.txt

mount.cifs kernel mount options:
unc=//pc1n7i01d03.us.dell.com\DTTUATNAS2,user=scott_purcell,ver=1,credentials=/etc/.cred.txt,prefixpath=training,ip=10.30.25.221,pass=********


The same command in RHEL 5 works -- the files and directories are viewable:

[root at RH5-3G4DKB1-SLP ~]# mount.cifs
//pc1n7i01d03.us.dell.com/DTTUATNAS2/training /tmp/mnttest/ --verbose -o
credentials=/etc/.cred.txt


mount.cifs kernel mount options:
unc=//pc1n7i01d03.us.dell.com\DTTUATNAS2,ip=10.30.25.221,user=scott_purcell,ver=1,credentials=/etc/.cred.txt,prefixpath=training,pass=********


smbclient in Ubuntu works fine -- the files and directories are browsable:

scott at U904-209NVD1-95031:~$ sudo smbclient
//pc1n7i01d03.us.dell.com/DTTUATNAS2/ -W americas -U scott_purcell -D
training

Please let me know what other information I can provide.
