> can not change directory into mount target /windows/starforge".

The only way I get that error is if the mount point
(/windows/starforge) does not exist.

Here's how I can reproduce your error:

[root@hc mnt]# ls /windows/starforge
ls: /windows/starforge: No such file or directory

[root@hc mnt]# mount.cifs //192.168.1.181/c$ /windows/starforge -o 
username=administrator  --verbose
mount error: can not change directory into mount target /windows/starforge


So, I'm pretty sure your mount point doesn't exist.  Let's have you do
this (this is what I said you should do in my first post! :D):

  mkdir -p /windows/starforge
  mount.cifs //starforge/c$ /windows/starforge -o 
username=administrator,domain=mydomain --verbose


The command is subtly different from my first response - this time
we'll not use the credentials file but instead supply the username and
domain.  The password is not specified so that the tool prompts you
for the password.

I've attached some examples of what the output of this should like
like for various cases (bad password, non-existant mount point,
successful mount).

Hopefully you will see some success shortly :)
