Try specifying the workgroup.  I have seen this error at school if I
don't specify workgroup, username, and/or password correctly.  Also
try adjusting the case of the name; it shouldn't be case-sensitive but
it might be acting a little weird (one time I couldn't mount a share I
knew was there from the command line, but I could with gnomba).
