mount -a works, fstab doesn't

I have (last 3 lines)

  1. //storageServer/working.Stan-and-Jeanne.com/Family    /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/family    cifs    credentials=/home/storageServerAdmin/.smbcredentials,exec    0    0
  2. //storageServer/working.Stan-and-Jeanne.com/OOFrames    /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/ooframes    cifs    credentials=/home/storageServerAdmin/.smbcredentials,exec    0    0
  3. //storageServer/PicturesMaster    /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/pictures    cifs    credentials=/home/storageServerAdmin/.smbcredentials,ro    0    0

in fstab.  /home/storageServerAdmin/.smbcredentials (on this machine) has the userid and password (of the system administrator of storageServer).

I boot the machine and list the contents of /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/family and it is empty, as is /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/ooframes and /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/pictures.  I run 'mount -a' and see no errors.  I list the contents of /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/family, /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/ooframes and /Stan-and-Jeanne.com/pictures and they all contain the contents that I expected after boot.

storageServer is at 192.168.48.2, this machine is at 192.168.67.48.  If I put this machine at 192.168.48.67, same subnet, it makes no difference.

This (fstab) used to work ... sometime before tkLAMP v12.  Since I reboot the web server so seldom I just ran 'mount -a' after and sort of forgot about it.  But now I'm bringing up a new version and I tripped over this again.

I don't know what to look for.  Suggestions?

Thanks,
Stan
