I just tested your kernel from post in #12 using virtual machine in virtual box so I could take snapshots before and after. With your kernel my cifs mount in /etc/fstab works fine. Without your kernel i get the same failure as above with this message:

CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation.
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -5
Also did touch,write,read and delete test on new file in the mounted (remote) cifs directory. Works great!
