Assuming you're unable to mount because of the error above, it sounds
like you've hit some sort of resource limit on the server.

MS-CIFS says that this means either:

File handles for this SMB session have been exhausted.

...or...

Exceeded maximum number of open file handles on the server.

...not sure if this is tunable. Maybe the logs on the server would give
more info?
