	Got to watch out for the those backslashes:

This seems to work:

> mount //ishtar/tmp /tmp/tmnt
mount: defaulting to 'notexec' mount option for speed since native path
       references a remote share.  Use '-f' option to override.
/tmp> df /tmp/tmnt
Filesystem          Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
//ishtar/tmp   12G  8.4G  3.7G  70% /tmp/tmnt

Though I'd likely use 'net use' as others mentioned.
