I've put this in /etc/fstab now.  If I use mount (as root), I get
mount error 5 = Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

I can't find any useful reference as to the cause of the 'mount error 5'
problem.

I don't think it does -  It just seems to know about FTP and SMB

Thank you for your advice.  If you have any ideas about 'mount error 5' I'd
appreciate it.
