You did not tell us which software versions you have, but if my
guess is right and you are using stock RedHat 6.0, there's a known
problem. The kernel is compiled with "enable win95 bug workaround",
which clashes with smbmount, which is now part of the samba package. 

you can edit your samba config to let smbmount not enable the fix,
or better yet, leave samba alone but recompile your own kernel
(without the kernel workaround of course).

hope this helps,
