That isn't a bug; this option is provided by cifs-utils so you need to
have it installed.

Title:
  The mount command in Ubuntu 10.04 does not recognize the credentials
  keyword for cifs filesystems in the /etc/fstab file

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: util-linux

  I had altered the /etc/fstab to automount some samba shares at bootup.
  I had set up a credentials file with the username and password in each
  users account. This worked fine in Ubuntu 9.10, but has not worked
  since I upgraded to 10.04.

  I believe the problem is that the mount command in 10.04 does not
  recognize the credentials keyword. For example, with the following
  line in my /etc/fstab file:

  //192.168.0.110/user1  /home/user1/Network  cifs
  credentials=/home/user1/.smbcredentials  0  0

  and the following .smbcredentials file in /home/user1:

  username=user1
  password=password1

  I get the following error on issuing a mount -a command:

  user1@User1-Laptop:~$ sudo mount -a
  mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.0.110/user1,
         missing codepage or helper program, or other error
         (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
         need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
         In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
         dmesg | tail  or so

  
  Altering the /etc/fstab file to the following works perfectly:
  //192.168.0.110/user1  /home/user1/Network  cifs  username=user1, password=password1  0  0
