I experienced the same thing mounting a WD Netcenter drive. I also
found nothing through Google. My workaround was to use smbfs instead of
cifs. However, since smbfs is to be eliminated at some point, have you
tried Ethy's suggestion, and did it work?

I am running Gentoo. I am trying to get my /etc/fstab to
automatically mount a remote Samba share at boot time. I have the
following in my /etc/fstab file:
//192.168.0.2/share /mnt/share cifs
auto,credentials=/home/user/.smbpasswd,uid=1000,umask=002,user 0 0
This works fine if I specify the username and password in the
/etc/fstab file. However, if I try to use the credentials file
option I get:
CIFS VFS: No username specified
The credential file looks like this:
-rw------- 1 root wheel 34 Oct 9 22:01 .smbpasswd
The contents look like this:
username=myusername
password=mypassword
What am I doing wrong?
I find it hard to believe that no one else has experienced this
problem before. I have done some Googling and other references to
this have not solved the problem for me.

Try
username = myusername
password = mypassword
(note the whitespaces)
