Likely stupid question.

# echo mount -t cifs \\foo /mnt/share -o user=XXX,pass=YYY,unc=//name/path
mount -t cifs \foo /mnt/share -o user=XXX,pass=YYY,unc=//name/path

# echo \\name\path
\namepath

As you see, '\\' is special for shell, and if you tried \\name\path
then mount was surely confused - it saw \namepath.

Did you try using //name/path instead of \\foo?
Or \\\\name\\path?
