I have a mounting problem that drives me mad at the moment...

Using the manual mounting command

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/shareName /media/shareName -o uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,username='domain/name',password=pw

I am able to mount my network share without any problem. But then, when I include the line

//192.168.1.1/shareName /media/shareName   cifs    uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,username='domain/name',password=pw   0   0

into fstab and execute then the command

sudo mount -a

I receive the error message

mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

When I restart the computer the boot process is as it should be without any errors, but the share isn't mounted.

Does anybody know if this is a bug?! Or do I miss there something?

Thanks for reading this...

PS: I do not have any white spaces in the network share name or any 'weird' characters in the password. Also the cifs-utils are installed. The additional option users in the fstab didn't helped either. Of course I'll use later the credential file when the fstab entry works, at the moment I use the password in fstab just for testing purposes (and it didn't worked neither when I tried the credential file instead)...

PPS: I use Kubuntu 12.10, but I hope this doesn't matter...
