Mistake was mine - misinterpreted I guess.
Below is a similar question raised on a Linux-Mandrake reflector that I
subscribed to before going only debian. It may be of some help.
Apologies to gurus and the readers at large - clearly a case of the blind
leading the blind. I will try this against my own NT server later this
weekend.

I have encountered the exact same problem. The solution I finally came up
with is this
mount -t smbfs -o username=name,password=pass \\\\computer\\share
/mnt/whatever
