My procedure: mount -t smbfs -o username=linuxadmin,password=password,workgroup=wowcorp //backup/e /mnt/backup /mnt/backup directory's definitely created. When I use the above command, I return no errors, and the drive is empty so I thought it was mounting. However, when I checked the backup logs, the logs were empty...and remount shows no files were copied over from the script I've set up. It doesn't appear to be the backup script that is the issue. Is there something amiss in my setup? Let me know if you need more info (I'm sure you will!).
