FYI, this makes a CIFS share available on this server, with the path /%user, e.g. \\servername\username

I would first try it from a *root shell*, not via sudo, e.g. as:

mount.cifs //192.168.5.219/username /mnt/username user=username

(ensure the directories exist)

It would help if you provided the *actual* username in question.
