This is the correct syntax for RedHat 6.0.

Assuming that 'phil' is your password...

My first guess is that the directory /phil doesn't exist.  The error message
is complaining about the directory file on which you are trying to mount the
share (viz., /phil).

I can duplicate your problem on our machine:

[glenn at raijin glenn]$ smbmount '\\drachma\c' 'password' '-c mount /glenn'
Could not resolve mount point
[glenn at raijin glenn]$ ls -l /glenn
ls: /glenn: No such file or directory
