Wait, are you using an smbclient.conf file? If so *don't*.
The *only* files that you should have in your /etc/samba folder are:

gdbcommands (bt quit)
smb.conf
smbpasswd
smbusers (system_username = "network username")
and possibly dhcp.conf (0 bytes) + any relevent <file>~ backup files.

Then please stop screwing around with the smbf mount stuff & use samba
from Nautilus. Like I said previously, just get standard samba working
_first_ and then experiment with the mount stuff *afterwards*.
