error code comes from the smbfs support in the kernel. fs/smbfs/proc.c: -2 means that it could not find a file or directory in the call to smb_add_request.
Basically, it either means you have a bug in the kernel, or a bug in the version of the samba utilities you are using, or you are using a version of the utilities that is not compatible with the kernel you are using. So try mounting with cifs filesystem & if the problem reoccurs try upgrading samba utilities & kernel.
