mount: mounting rootfs on / failed
Umm... this is it stopping you from shooting yourself in the foot I think.

Trying to mount something over your root filesystem is "oh ****, that was stupid" territory

Do you get the same problems when mounting it on a nice empty directory somewhere?

I have also found that cifs and username/password is painful on linux generally. Especially if the username has spaces.

Also, the syntax doesn't look right.

mount -t cifs //192.168.1.120/zebee /mnt -o user=zebee,password=password

works on my home system linux (don't have cifs module on tablet so can't check there). Note no colon after cifs, but a space.
