This error is actually described in the gentoo-wiki page just under that
command example: '*Warning:* Recent versions of "mount" don't support
forward slashes in UNC path names as shown above -- you must use
backslashes.'
However, forward slashes are working for me with samba 3.0.28 and util-linux
2.13-r2.
