Well, for me, using smbmount 2.0.2, the backslash characters just don't
work.  Try forward slashes:

smbmount //win/WING  <etc>

Attempting to use the backslashes always gives me a usage note.

And, yes, smbclient likes the backslashes OK, as long as you escape them
properly...

As an aside, I think it makes some sense *not* to handle the
backslashes.  I mean, if you mount a VFAT partition, backslashes don't
work as directory separators, now do they?
