I think it does...

I suspect it's the "noatime" option that it's objecting to, although
you wouldn't know from the error message. Try it without noatime.

Also, fwiw, you can use mount -t instead. This works for me on 10.1:

$ sudo mount -t smbfs -o -U=ozzmosis -o noexec,nosuid,ro //server/share /mnt
