Have you tried the mount with the IP address rather than server name? I
not certain whether this relevant but you are also not passing a
username which means you are attempting to login with the contents of $USER.

Rather looks like a service location issue (you need a special DNS
record otherwise client will not connect to a domain with cifs).

I would suspect Konqueror is using old style SMB connectivity rather
than the more recent cifs which might explain difference. It also
depends a bit whether you are using a workgroup or a domain (IIRC cifs
does not really work well with workgroups).
