I have found my problem with not be able to mount under kernel 3.0. I 
was using the guest option and that is what seems to not be working in 
3.0 but did work in 2.6.39. When I use this command with kernels 3.0-0, 
3.0-1 and 3.0-rc4 it works correctly. Not sure where the issue is but as 
a side result if you try with the guest option my system would not 
shutdown or reboot and had to use Alt+Sys reisub to get it to shut down. 
I hope I have been of some help in tracking my issue to help in 
resolving it.

sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/media/.creds 
//192.168.0.189/Volume_1/test/ /media/bills-dns-game-1110-64test

Thanks Bill
