I ran into thiws problem today when I urpmi'd a 9.1 install to cooker.  I 
could not mount any of my samba shares until I uninstalled and then 
reinstalled samba-client. 
 
Before I tried the uninstall and reinstall, I did the same and went to the 
control center to see what was up.  I got the same error the OP did.

In the Mandrake Control Center, when I click on "Setup Samba Mount Points" it
loads that configuration module, and then claims that the samba-client package
needs to be installed.  It then asks if I want to install it.  I click on yes
and it goes to a dialog that says "Mandatory samba-client package not
installed."  I opened up a terminal and su'd to root and typed "urpmi
samba-client".  Urpmi responded with "Everyting already installed."

So,
1)  MCC does not know samba-client is installed
2)  Despite asking about it, MCC will not install the package.

I think this may be because the binary of the samba client name changed.  In 9.1
I believe it was smbmount.  I don't remember exactly what gets installed in 9.2,
but I think the name changed.  So the tool might need to be updated for this. 
Just perahps a place to start looking.

I marked this as critical, because the networking aspects of the distribution
have always been touted and I think it's important that this gets fixed.
