Thanks guys - that worked fine for items 1 and 2. The SMB volume mount
point looked empty. So I ran 'mount -a' which confusingly said 'nothing
was mounted', but when I checked the mount point again, the volume ha
been loaded. I presume a timing issue of some sort. Not a significant
problem for me though.

Still interested to know if there is an answer to item 3 (deferred
mount).
