Assumption:  You're actually trying to mount the Samba/Windows share 
using CIFS (you should be, as smbfs is deprecated).

If so, make sure your program mount.cifs (and/or mount.smbfs) exists in 
the /sbin directory.  If it's any other directory, it won't work right.  
You can either move it (risking problems with package managers) or 
create a symlink:

ln -s /sbin/mount.cifs /usr/sbin/mount.cifs

or whatever.
