...assuming that's really the problem.

It does seem to me that it is some sort of name resolution issue, but it may
have more to do with the multi-homed nature of your setup.

Did you try:

  mount.cifs //CL0/c /mnt

?

If mount.cifs is not converting the case, that should fix the problem.

Curious to know...
