We're not seeing the verbatim text, but the / at the end of the first
field in the fstab(5) entry looks wrong; the one which appears to butt
up with the ‘/mnt/’ which follows. Also, the fstab entry shouldn't have
/mnt as the second field, but /mnt/Optiplex_Backups, again with no
trailing slash.
Other commands to poke about are:
smbclient -L readynas
smbtree -N
