Results:
--- Code: ---mitchell@NanoPC:~$ sudo mount /mnt/media
[sudo] password for mitchell:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //hillwrk/f,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
--- End code ---
Changed hillwrk to ip address in fstab line with same results

Well, one way to get that error message is if you don't have cifs-utils installed, but that would be really odd on a modern linux distro. I don't see that you posted what distro you're running, but if it's debian-based try "sudo apt-get install cifs-utils"

Running Ubuntu 17.04 Installed cifs-utils. Ran diagnostics with result:
--- Code: ---mitchell@NanoPC:~$ sudo mount /mnt/media
[sudo] password for mitchell:
mount error(16): Device or resource busy
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Thank you.
As a long time Mac and Windows user, I just tried Linux for the first time. There's a lot more tweaking involved to set up the overall system. Something I don't mind. I am using JRiver for quite some time now on Windows. Here are my first impressions with the Linux program. I hope this helps:
- I run a dual screen setup. JRiver opens quite randomly from screen to screen. After manually moving JRiver to the screen I want, any additional JRiver pop-up windows still open on the other (wrong) screen. I solved this using gDevilspie, but it is still annoying, because every time a JRiver pop-up open for the first time (the DSP pop up for instance), I have to manually add that pop up screen to gDevilpie, in order for it to open on the right screen the next time I try it.
- Going to Import - > Import -> Media Import, I select the Browser button. The "Select Path" system pop up window opens behind the JRiver pop up window.
- The mouse cursor changes from system default to a different arrow from time to time. Is there a way to disable this? I don't see the logic or benefit for JRiver to overwrite my system's default mouse pointer.
- Fonts do not look well anti-aliased. Anti-aliasing as a whole on Debian 9 / KDE doesn't look as good as it does on Windows or Mac, so I'm not sure if JRiver can be improved. I'm a web developer, so I do have a thing for well anti-aliased fonts, I guess. Window's pretty terrible compared to Mac, but Debian 9 / KDE is another thing entirely, so it seems.
- My biggest issue is that JRiver is noticeably slower to respond (screen rendering, clicking on songs to play, etc) on Linux Debian 9 (KDE) than on Windows. It's also more unstable. I do have to add I have installed the latest 64 bit version that I did not try on Windows yet.
I am looking to replace my HTPC set-up from Windows to Linux entirely, but only if the OS and my two main programs (JRiver / Plex (now Kodi on Linux)) behave as well as, or better than, they do on Windows. So far I am not yet convinced.

I think there is something wrong with permissions when using sudo mkdir /mnt/media as it automatically does this in the root folder. When instead I install the mounting point in /home/user_name/Media all is well and it mounts!
modified fstab entry line that works for me:
--- Code: ---//10.20.40.80/f /home/mitchell/Media cifs noauto,x-systemd.automount,credentials=/home/mitchell/samba-credentials 0 0
--- End code ---
Thanks for the help. This is a very useful forum.
