//192.168.0.40/anne /mnt/borg2_smbhome cifs 
rw,user,credentials=/etc/samba/auth.borg2.anne 0 0

Not much difference from yours, but it does work with 'mount -a', so I'm 
assuming that I'll be fine next bootup.  No desktop link is made, though.  My 
credentials file contains the two lines you mention.  I presume you have 
checked for typos, etc..  If you mount from a root console do you get any 
error message?
