Your /etc/fstab file (as you've correctly edited it) is trying to use
the cifs file system;  but 'mount' looks like it's reporting that you
haven't got it installed.

And that makes sense, given that you couldn't get the smbfs package.

What's the output from doing this in a terminal?

dpkg --get-selections | grep smb

If you've not got smbfs installed, that's what you need to
research/fix.  I've had a bit of a quick dig about to see if there's
any problem with the Intrepid repos, and I can't turn up anything
obvious.

So...

This is a bit fast and dirty, but try editing /etc/apt/sources.list and
removing the # from in front of all the lines that begin 

"# deb http://...";

Save sources.list, and then do

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

When it's finished, again try
sudo aptitude install smbfs

If it fails again, try a different repo.  Go to
<System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager>, open
Settings/Repositories, then click the 'Download from' dropdown;  select
'Other' and click the 'Select Best Server' button, and 'Choose server',
etc.

Then go to a terminal and do again

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
sudo aptitude install smbfs

Does that get your smb/cifs installed?
