I think this is because there is no smbfs support compiled into the RH 
kernels.  They switched to CIFS instead, but unfortunately this is currently 
broken: you get an error -13 at the client side when you try to mount.  
Apparently this is fixed with the latest CIFS stuff that just needs to get 
updated in the kernel.

What is working is the smb:// ioslave in Konqueror, that seems to have its own 
equivalent of samba-client which is not reliant on any support in the kernel.  
But that is not a mounted filesystem, just a way to ease access in Konqueror, 
you have to copy files over to your machine to actually open them and so on.
