i tried smbmount-2.1.x "//buskiller/wal\'s world" jason  -c 'mount bus'
but then it says "wrong sharename", i tried all combinations and i either
get one message or the other...

looks like the program should output an adjusted service name to the
script that it seems to run: main program will get a clean string from the
command line without all the escapes (as the shell does), but should then
pass on an escaped version to the mount shell script.

i'll have a quick look... is the maintainer listening to this or should i
CC the problem on to him?
