Dunno for sure, but here are some things I would check:
1. If you have SAMBA installed, is it running BEFORE you try to mount
these?
2. If you are NOT using SAMBA, do you have the "smbfs.o" module
installed and up BEFORE you try to run the script?
3. Is the network up/working before you run this script?
4. Can you mount the shares by manually typing in the commands at the
root command prompt?
5. Does the script work when called manually at the root command
prompt?
As you can see, I suspect the timing of when you call this script with
regard to other necessary components "might" be your problem. The smbfs
support in the "stock" kernel is compiled as a module. You will have to
insert this module before trying to mount these SMB shares. A good way
to do this might be to insert it into the /etc/modules file. Also,
could you describe exactly how and where are you running this script??
