Because you are using smbclient the wrong way.

From the smbclient man page:

     -L   This option allows you to look  at  what  services  are
          available  on a server. You use it as smbclient -L host
          and a list should appear. The -I option may  be  useful
          if  your NetBIOS names don't match your TCP/IP DNS host
          names or if you are trying to reach a host  on  another
          network.

If you want to connect to a service, just use the UNC path:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]$ smbclient //jack/test -U <whateveruseryouare>
