I know the script I was using stopped working and it
was complaining that the name //intranet/public didn't
start with either // or \\ (as you can see it *does*
start with //).

To see if it would make it happy, I changed
//intranet/public to \\\\intranet\\public and
it had no problem mounting it (the extra \
characters being needed to get through shell
escape processing).
