using vmbk.pl

Hello all,

I am trying to use vmbk.pl to backup my VMs to Windows based share

vmbk.pl Version 3.0 Rev.11

vmbk.pl -i -d /mount/ -s smb=//windows2003servername/sharename,user=administrator,password=password -1 -4 -c

the erro message I am getting is: could not resolve mount point mount

cannot mount //servername/share on /mount

what am i doing wrong?
