I'm confused.. are you trying to do command-line mounting on OS X?

One of these (depending on the distro.. some seem to have phased out
smbmount) should work:
# smbmount //servername/share /mount/point -o username
# mount -t smbfs -o username //servername/share /mount/point

No. Well, you *might* need to specify the username in the
"DOMAIN\username" format, but 99% of the time the server is happy with
the username alone.
