[mythtv-users] slightly OT: mounting samba shares on bootup

I'm having some issues mounting smb shares on bootup for my frontend. 
I added the following lines to my /etc/fstab:

//raid/video            /home/mythtv/video      smbfs  
uid=mythtv,password=password 0 0
//raid/music            /home/mythtv/music      smbfs  
uid=mythtv,password=password 0 0
//raid/pix              /home/mythtv/picture    smbfs  
uid=mythtv,password=password 0 0

I get the following error on bootup:

Nov 10 23:50:35 theater mount: 3154: tree connect failed: ERRDOS -
ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
Nov 10 23:50:35 theater mount: SMB connection failed
Nov 10 23:50:35 theater mount: 3156: tree connect failed: ERRDOS -
ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
Nov 10 23:50:35 theater mount: SMB connection failed
Nov 10 23:50:35 theater mount: 3157: tree connect failed: ERRDOS -
ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
Nov 10 23:50:35 theater mount: SMB connection failed
Nov 10 23:50:35 theater netfs: Mounting SMB filesystems:  failed

When I run the command, mount -ao remount, it mounts the shares.  I
did just notice this in dmesg though, smbfs: Unrecognized mount option
remount.

Can someone tell me where I am going wrong?  I'm connecting to a
Windows box, if that matters.  Thanks.
