| Mount Problems with /etc/fstab |

This is probably something easy but I can't get it to work and I'm new
to this. I have the following entry in /etc/fstab thinking that this
would mount the samba share //server/folder to the folder
/home/paul/mounted on my PC
//server/folder /home/paul/mounted cifs guest 0 0
At boot up this doesn't appear to work however if I open a root console
and run mount -a then the folder is mounted as expected.
I'm guessing that as it works as root it's a permissions error but
didn't want to start modifying too much without checking.
Using openSUSE 10.3 with latest updates
Thanks

I got it working with the help of
http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtosambacifs.html, specifically by adding
@reboot sleep 10;mount -a to crontab for root.
