Getting SMB shares to mount from /Library/StartupItems

[cre]

I am trying to get an SMB share to mount from /Library/StartupItems. I have wrote a script that works when executed from the terminal but it will not run from /Library/StartupItems. I think the problem is with the dependncies for the mount_smbfs command that are specified in the “StartupParameters.plist”. If I comment out that string the script will run and just create the directory in /Volumes. Any help would be appriciated.

Here is the .plist and the script that live in /Libary/StartupItems/smbmounter

The script:

#!/bin/sh

. /etc/rc.common

#Makes the directory that the SMB share will mount to
mkdir /Volumes/smbshare

#Mounts the SMB share to the /Volumes/qube directory
mount_smbfs -W domain //user:pass@server/share /Volumes/smbshare

exit 0

The StartupItems.plist is calling

Requires

Network
System Log

You might do this with launchd instead, you might try my post code on the [url=http://forums.bombich.com/viewtopic.php?t=9694]following thread[/url] on bombich’s forums.
