I don't know the answer, but a thought or three:

1. the entries for the cifs mounts don't have the last two fields specified. I dunno if they're absolutely required, so it may not mean anything.
2. you might want to experiment with the smbclient tool to see if you can
learn anything from its responses when trying to access the remote.
3. also verify that seliinux is not blocking the access.. I've had at
least one case in which I spent hours banging my head, only to discover
it was selinux and not anything in Samba.

Good luck!

Fred
