Only thing I can think of is that you  are trying to mount ntfs 
partition and you don't have it in your kernel or you dont have the 
smbfs filesystem loaded in your kernel.  But that mount 6 error is odd. 
If you have X installed try apt-get LinNeighborhood its a nice gui to 
mount network shares and see if you have any luck with that, sorry I 
couldn't be of more use.
