Trouble mounting cifs share

I'm having trouble mounting cifs; Initially I thought it's a network issue of 
some sort, but it happens on a number of systems and I assume the Hetzner 
Storagebox is OK (as in, configured correctly):

- 2x 6.6.2-gnu Guix: Failed
- 1x 6.1.0-13 Debian: Failed
- 1x 5.10.0-21 Debian: Success

Here's what I'm trying (always as root):

```
mount.cifs -o user=abc,pass=abc //abc.your-storagebox.de/backup /mnt/storage-box
```

SUCCESS:

```
[22217175.369726] FS-Cache: Loaded

more secure dialect, SMB2.1 or later (e.g. SMB3.1.1), from CIFS (SMB1). To use 
the less secure SMB1 dialect to access old servers which do not support SMB3.1.1 
(or even SMB3 or SMB2.1) specify vers=1.0 on mount.
```

FAILURE:


```

mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log 
messages (dmesg)
```

dmesg first run:

```

dmesg second run:

[84327.549388] CIFS: VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -2
```

third one, directly after 2nd:

```
mount.cifs -o user=abc,pass=abc //abc.your-storagebox.de/backup /mnt/storage-box
mount error(126): Required key not available
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log 
messages (dmesg)
```

dmesg third run:

```

[84355.299032] CIFS: VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -126
```

Am I missing something? Thank you.

Sorry for this naive question, these numbers are the version of package,
right?

Cheers,

They look like kernel versions to me.

My cifs mounts with automount are also broken since a while with a 
similar error: No such file or directory. This was working find until 
some weeks ago. I assumed it was my fault but your message hints that 
some package(s) changes have introduced this behavior.
I'm using gio [1] as a workaround which works fine.

Best, Reza
