Hardy Issues

Hi All.  I've just installed Hardy alongside Gutsy and I'm having a few 
minor issues that I hope someone on here may be able to help me with.

*First Issue.

I'm having a problem with my fstab file mounting some networked Windows 
XP shares.  The fstab is working fine under Gutsy but not under Hardy.  
The section I'm adding to the fstab file in Hardy (working under Gutsy) is:

//goodvibes-desk/C /media/windows_c smbfs 
password=*****,fmask=0777,dmask=0777 0 0
//goodvibes-desk/E /media/windows_e smbfs 
password=*****,fmask=0777,dmask=0777 0 0
//goodvibes-desk/F /media/windows_f smbfs 
password=*****,fmask=0777,dmask=0777 0 0

When I execute sudo mount -a I get the following output:

WARNING: CIFS mount option 'fmask' is deprecated. Use 'file_mode' instead.
WARNING: CIFS mount option 'dmask' is deprecated. Use 'dir_mode' instead.
mount error: could not find target server. TCP name goodvibes-desk/C not 
found
No ip address specified and hostname not found
WARNING: CIFS mount option 'fmask' is deprecated. Use 'file_mode' instead.
WARNING: CIFS mount option 'dmask' is deprecated. Use 'dir_mode' instead.
mount error: could not find target server. TCP name goodvibes-desk/E not 
found
No ip address specified and hostname not found
WARNING: CIFS mount option 'fmask' is deprecated. Use 'file_mode' instead.
WARNING: CIFS mount option 'dmask' is deprecated. Use 'dir_mode' instead.
mount error: could not find target server. TCP name goodvibes-desk/F not 
found
No ip address specified and hostname not found

I can browse the host 'goodvibes-desk' and connect to it via Places -> 
Connect to Server... with no problems.

Any idea how I should adjust the fstab?

*Second Issue

This is very minor but when I receive new mail in Thunderbird the 
account that received the mail displays the New Mail asterisk but the 
sub-folder that the mail has been filtered into does not go bold, 
highlighting that the email is in that folder.  I have to click each 
sub-folder and see if the email loads to find where it is.

Any idea what's going on here?

*Third Issue

Another minor issue.  Does anyone know which keyboard layout to select 
so that I don't have to hit SPACE after I enter ' ?

Thanks.
