------- Comment #1 from shirishp at us.ibm.com  2009-03-11 13:12 CST -------

I tried this and mount failed.

# mount -t cifs //cifstest8/smb8 /mnt/smb_a --verbose -o
ip=fe80::214:5eff:fefb:3f7c,noperm,user=root,pass=password

parsing options: rw,ip=fe80::214:5eff:fefb:3f7c,noperm,user=root,pass=password
ip address fe80::214:5eff:fefb:3f7c override specified
ip address specified explicitly

mount.cifs kernel mount options
unc=//cifstest8\smb8,ver=1,rw,ip=fe80::214:5eff:fefb:3f7c,noperm,user=root,pass=root
mount error 22 = Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
cifstest6:~ # dmesg
 CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation
 CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22

eventhough I can ping the ipv6 interface on the server

ping6 -I eth0 fe80::214:5eff:fefb:3f7c
PING fe80::214:5eff:fefb:3f7c(fe80::214:5eff:fefb:3f7c) from
fe80::214:5eff:fefb:3f54 eth0: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from fe80::214:5eff:fefb:3f7c: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=3.92 ms
64 bytes from fe80::214:5eff:fefb:3f7c: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.146 ms

Do you see any error messages like this?  

You can clear syslog buffer
 dmesg -c
turn on cifs debugging by doing
 echo 7 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI
issue the mount command and 
obtain syslog buffer by doing command
 dmesg  

and send that output
