Hi, I can't figure out why the following 2 lines from /etc/fstab are failing to mount the drives, though they will mount manually by doing "sudo mount //jupiter/backup" or "sudo mount /network/jupiter/data/".

//jupiter/data /network/jupiter/data cifs credentials=/home/roger/.smbpasswd 0 0 //jupiter/backup /network/jupiter/backup cifs credentials=/home/roger/.smbpasswd 0 0

The correct username and password exist in the .smbpasswd file.
Once mounted manually, the mount command gives:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount | grep jupiter
//jupiter/backup on /network/jupiter/backup type cifs (rw,mand)
//jupiter/data on /network/jupiter/data type cifs (rw,mand)

The mount points themselves:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -al /network/jupiter/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  4 root  root  4096 2008-01-09 16:12 .
drwxr-xr-x  8 root  root  4096 2008-01-09 16:21 ..
drwxrwxr-x  7 roger users    0 2008-01-14 20:09 backup
drwxr-x--x 19 roger users    0 2008-01-14 15:48 data

Could anyone point out what I am overlooking? I suspect a permissions issue but don't currently see what/why.
Cheers,
Roger
