cifs mount returns random garbage

[Neal Becker]

I'm trying to do cifs mount to some kind of networked storage we have here 
at my job.  I don't know what kind of box it is, but it doesn't play nice 
with samba, apparently.

Sometimes (maybe the 1st time?) I mount, it seems normal.  I can do ls and 
it looks fine.

Other times, I mount and ls returns random results.  Repeating ls gives 
different random characters and messages.

Any ideas?
