But you can see more of these files when you use a GUI viewer,
and with MC you can see all of them, if I read you right.

Could this be charset related, i. e. do the files in question
have any, like, utf-8 characters in their names?
And MC decodes these filesnames correctly,
your GUI viewer decodes some of them correctly,
and the console doesn't do it at all?

If it works better with a GUI then in the console,
and the GUI accesses the smbfs mount,
it is probably not the fault of mount_smbfs.
