I didn't read far enough. The method (and file) you're using appears to 
be a valid option:

# smbfs lookups configuration files in next order:
#       1. ~/.nsmbrc
#       2. /etc/nsmb.conf - if this file found it will
#          override values with same keys from user files.


Have you tried using ~/.nsmbrc instead?
