smbmount and $homes with samba

[mike]

For some reason smbmount refuses point-blank to mount  samba home shares
useably

eg: this is on the same machine

mount -t smbfs -o
username=mike,password=******* //data_cc/datacc /home/mike/smbtest
opts: rw
opts: username=mike
opts: password=tuxopen
mount.smbfs started (version 3.0.3-5)
added interface ip=192.168.1.6 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Connecting to 192.168.1.6 at port 445
5647: tree connect failed: Call returned zero bytes (EOF)
SMB connection failed

Other machine

mount -t smbfs -o
username=mike,password=********,ip=192.168.1.6 //data_cc/mike /mnt/test
[root at localhost root]# ls /mnt/test
ls: /mnt/test: No such file or directory

ls -l 
drwxr-xr-x  1 root root 4096 Jul  9 10:36 data

Global shares mount fine - anyone any idea what is going on here.
