Specifying `late' seems extremely unnecessary for NFS mounts. If
mountcritremote can't properly depend on nmbd, nfsd, smbd for mounting
filesystems, then it seems like a rc script dependency issue
(otherwise, mountcritremote is basically mountcritlocal, waiting for
some networking connectivity to come up, right?).
