It's possible that there's a glibc problem, but your mount tools must be
mostly working if you get smbfs mounted at all.

The only sure test of whether the flags are set properly is the mount
time messages from smbfs itself. The message text is in fs/smbfs/inode.c
smb_read_super(). If you mount with the -f 3xxx flags, you should get
both messages.
