fyi, you could have replaced those \\ with / and it worked just fine...
smbmount //hostname/path/to/share /local/mount/point -o ip=123.12.34.234,username=hostname/my_userid,password=whatever
...

username=userid%password
[where whatever is the user's password] ip shouldn't be needed if
'server' resolves
