At run time, mount_smbfs reads the ~/.nsmbrc file for additional configuration parameters and a password. If no password is found, mount_smbfs prompts for it. Looks like mount_smbfs is expecting the file to be named '.nsmbrc', not simply 'nsmbrc.' So it's not finding the file where the password is stored.
