[Samba] mount shares with path

I need to mount a share I don't have direct access to only to one subdirectory.
I have no problems mounting other shares on the same windows server with
the same permissions.
I can mount the volume through gnome "Connect to Server...", but I need it
on the filesystem.

What is working:
smbmount //server1/share1 /mnt -o -fstype=cifs -noperm,credentials=/etc/auto.smb.server1

What is not working:
smbmount //server1/share2/dir1 /mnt -o -fstype=cifs -noperm,credentials=/etc/auto.smb.server1

This results in the error: "mount error 20 = Not a directory"

When I try with backslashes, the error changes:
smbmount \\\\server1\\share2\\dir1 /mnt -o -fstype=cifs -noperm, credentials=/etc/auto.smb.exappbek0w1

The results are:
retrying with upper case share name
mount error 6 = No such device or address

The results are the same if I omit "-fstype=cifs -noperm,".

What shows

smbclient -N -L server1

Does it show the share "share/dir1"? It shouldn't ...

Viele Gruesse!

Hallo Helmut,

Sorry, I accidentally sent the previous reply to your private address
only! And for some strange reason, I didn't get a copy of this
message in my inbox, I just found it in the archive...

The problem is: I'm not the administrator of the server, so I can't
create shares. But as I wrote in my original mail: Connecting to
this subdirectory of this share is possible through GNOME - doesn't
that use samba?
