while waiting for a real network guru (i am NOT!), you can try this, i
don't how it could hurt anything..

using your example (which i have NO idea if it should work or
not....BUT, if username is actually "user name" and the directory you
wanna mount is "folder name" then, try this:

mount -t smbfs -o username='user name',password=xppassword
//fileserver/path/to/'folder name'

and, if that doesn't work, try this:

mount -t smbfs -o username="user name",password=xppassword
//fileserver/path/to/"folder name"

see, i think it is getting confused if you are now sending

mount -t smbfs -o username=user name,password=xppassword
//fileserver/path/to/folder name
