I had this problem for a while after upgrading from 1.4b2 to the
latest (?) asun release.
I found that the problem was not my password, but my username. I had
created an entry in my passwd file with Erickson as the username that
worked fine in 1.4b2, but once I upgraded, I couldn't mount anything
until I changed the username in the passwd file to erickson (even
though my username was still listed as Erickson with a captital E in
the chooser dialog).
Could that be your problem?
