thanx for the replies, it is all working now... it is weird how a redhat Samba rpm package would have smbmount/smbclient included whereas a Debian Samba package doesn't.
BTW, what is more reliable as a means for copying great quantities of files : 1) smbmount from an AIX samba shared directory or 2) nfs mount from an AIX NFS shared directory with no_root_squash?

(I dont know if you can do it as a module, havent tried).
