I had this problem. My solution is as follows (you won't like it!)
Download and install Samba 2.0.2 from samba.org, compile it with
smbmount (check the ./configure --help) and install it to its default
place. Now use *that* copy of smbmount to mount remote system - but
watch it, the syntax of the new smbmount is radically different to that
that appears on the SuSE distribution. It's documented in the man pages
of the new version though.
Basically, I now have two Sambas coexisting on my machine: There's the
one installed from SuSE which is handling my printing, and there's the
one which is a plain default install from source, which isn't in any
paths, I just run the smbmount directly.
