Possibly a clue: when mounting manually with mount -t cifs I need to add the nounix option:
mount -t cifs //host/share /mnt/tmp -o username=$user,password=$pass
gives "mount ... failed: Operation not supported"
When using
mount -t cifs //host/share /mnt/tmp -o username=$user,password=$pass,nounix
It works.
