The smbfs helpers got dropped recently from the Samba sources.  The
helpers are unmaintained and have defects on non x86 32bit systems.
These are the reasons why we dropped smbfs even earlier from SUSE
kernels.

Please file a defect in bugzilla and add the server you're trying to
access.  Soon there will be a dedicated bug reporting section for cifs
at http://en.openSUSE.org/Bugs/Samba  Ping us in a week if there is
still nothing about cifs.
