This has an error.   Mount requires the options BEFORE the device

Maybe that is the problem since it does not apply your options to the
mount command.

SYNOPSIS
      mount [-lhV]
     mount -a [-fFnrsvw] [-t vfstype] [-O optlist]
      mount [-fnrsvw] [-o options [,...]] device | dir
      mount [-fnrsvw] [-t vfstype] [-o options] device dir


Maybe you didn't notice the command line is `mount.cifs' not `mount'
The syntax is different and it doesn't throw an error plus the share
gets mounted.

mount.cifs

Usage: mount.cifs <remotetarget> <dir> -o <options>

I noticed, but I do not have cifs installed. I used the information available, and should have noted that I could not explicitly test the mount.cifs command. My apologies.
