Right I've finally got it working using the below
"smbmount //beta/apps /home/apps -o
username=gabe,password=foobarbat,uid=gabe,gid=users,fmask=600,dmask=700"
which i've placed into a bash script file so as I login it mounts
all my shares, I do have another question,
I can mount as a user, but I get the following error when trying to
umount
umount: only root can unmount //beta/apps from /home/apps
is there anyway of umount without being root, basically this machine
is used by more then one person and I would like to umount everything
so that only the shares need by a user are mounted
