It might be a kernel problem. In order to mount smb shares, the kernel
must have support for smb filesystems. In FreeBSD, noticeable, the
kernels on distributions do not have SMB filesupport enabled (shucks,
they don't even have ext2 support enabled). 

Try opening xfsamba as root and doing the mount. If it succeeds, then
it's a file mode problem (both "smbmnt" and "smbumount" must be suid
root, the "smbmount" you find lying around there is just to make things
confusing because making it suid-root doesn't help)
