It works now. I have been using a credentials file like this for a couple of years:

Username=domain/username
Password=password

I have had to remove the "domain" from the credentials file, and now it works fine. I tried to mount from the command line and it worked without the domain part, and then I modified the credentials file.

I'll have to dig into the documentation to see what has changed.
