After a distribution upgrade to 9.10, "mount -t cifs"
gives me problems.  

For example, I used to be able to connect to 101.22.33.44 and
type "ls /mnt/g/" to see a list of files on that Windows shared
drive:

    /bin/mount -t cifs -o ip=101.22.33.44,username=DOMAIN/userid /mnt/g 

After the upgrade, however, I began getting garbled text:

  ls: cannot access ?: No such file or directory
  ls: cannot access H~1: No such file or directory
  ls: cannot access R~1.226.serverauth: No such file or directory
  ls: cannot access R~1.517.serverauth: No such file or directory
  ls: cannot access D~1: No such file or directory
  ls: cannot access ~1: No such file or directory

  [..snipped..]

  ????/  ~1        C~1/  O~1  ???????pgad  R~1.358.serverauth  U~1/

In Nautilus, it works as expected (using [Go]->[Location] to
connect).  But I would like to get it to work in command
line.

I got the same garbled text using "smbmount //101.22.33.44/share/ 
/home/user/g -o username=user,workgroup=DOMAIN,password=Passwd,
iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777".   Reinstalling
samba and smbfs did not solve it.  

Any thoughts?

Yuelin.
