Samba SMB CIFS Mount problem

Ok so I'm having trouble mounting my smb shares in my Arch VM

 

cifs-utils is installed  ...

[jumperalex@arch_vm ~]$ sudo pacman -S cifs-utils
warning: cifs-utils-6.2-1 is up to date -- reinstalling

I can see tower and its shares ...

[jumperalex@arch_vm ~]$ smbclient -L tower
params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf":
        No such file or directory
smbclient: Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it
Enter jumperalex's password:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[unix] Server=[samba 4.0.15]

I have my mount points created ...

[jumperalex@arch_vm ~]$ ls /mnt -l
total 36
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 14 03:40 data
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 17 14:11 movies
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 17 14:12 music
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 17 14:12 pc_backup
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 17 14:11 plex
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb  4 14:54 tmp
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 17 14:12 torrents
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 17 14:11 tv_shows
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 17 14:11 videos

 

But I get this error when trying to mount

jumperalex@arch_vm ~]$ sudo mount -t cifs //Tower/Movies /mnt/movies -o guest,rw
mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
mount error(19): No such device
Refer to the mount.cifs( manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

 

Using tower's ip address, 10.0.0.4 gets me the same problem.

 

As you might guess I have no problems accessing shares from windows, my BD player can see them, my android phone can see them ... but my Arch VM exceeds my skill level.

 

Also, my shares on Tower are all set to "Public" and I have no users setup beyond root.

Well damn it apparently I needed to reboot?!?!
