//mutt/C$ /mnt/mutt_c smbfs auto,guid=,uid=,username=foo,password=bar 0    
//mutt/D$  /mnt/mutt_d  smbfs  auto,guid=,uid=,username=foo,password=bar 0    


These are the two lines from fstab In both cases I get the error "Could not
resolve mount point /mnt/mutt_c" (or d).

smbclient does indeed show the shares as

C$ Disk Default share
D$ Disk Default share
