You have a couple of options.

1) You can use smbclient, but I believe you'll have to write something
   like an expect script to get it all working properly.

2) You can mount the share to your local system using smbmount/mount.
   Under Red Hat, I do 
   /bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=davidj,password=mypassword //machine/share /mountpath

   You may also have to provide the ip=<hosts ip> option in the -o
   string if your name resolution isn't behaving properly.

3) I believe there are automounter daemons that do CIFS/SMB, but I
   cannot remember the name or source of them. Exercise for the reader
   to find.
