Working fstab line from Wheezy:-
//vbserver/references /home/scott/References cifs
ro,_netdev,credentials=/root/.cifs,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0


"ro" shouldn't affect you
"_netdev" stops boot from failing if the network resource is not
available (probably cause of your problem *if* the network resource
exists *and* UID and GID are correct).
check "uid" and "gid" against your user
consider removing the "auto" (possible cause of your problem)
consider replacing a system-wide readable password with one that's
readable by root only (won't cause your problem, prevents others).

To see what has been mounted:-
$ mount

To try and mount everything in /etc/fstab:-
# mount -a

The output from the last command will be instructive.

You should also take a look at your network settings:-
$ ip a
