a mount command works on one computer but not another.

I have a Seagate GoFlex Home NAS drive. My primary desktop is running Ubuntu 12.10 and so is my laptop. The following mount statement works on my desktop, but not the laptop.

sudo mount -t cifs -orw,soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,username=myuser,password=mysecretpassword "//192.168.100.21/goflex home backup" /home/bpinkston/backup

Here is the error this code generates:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.82.21/GoFlex Home Backup,       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

Here is the dmesg report for the mount requirement

 
[ 3865.446063] CIFS VFS: Connecting to DFS root not implemented yet[ 3865.446132] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22

Never Mind. I Installed cifs-utils and the script worked fine.

sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
