works fine for me:

mount -t smbfs -o username=foo,password=bar //some/windoze/share 
/mnt/garbage

you're example does not have a space between -o and username, it's 
required and I beleive in the order I specified.  you may need to 
recompile your kernel, the smb kern module is tried and true, while the 
CIFS kern mod is newer and I beleive still in development.
