First I thought the problem was solved because I had an old version of mount installed, but the successful mount with latest version of mount.cifs was only by chance. I get 1 successful mount out of ~ 30 tries (each time unloading the cifs module). And looking at the source in export.c I discovered, that reexporting cifs- mount points is still not supported :-( : This seems to be very tricky. If you need more information to track the tainting problem down, pls give me a note.
