Yes, that's correct. After you mount from the smbclient command line, there's a process that sticks around to manage the network connections for smbfs. When a connection drops (quite a frequent occurrence), smbfs signals the pid and then waits. I put in the timeout so smbfs wouldn't sit forever holding the server semaphore, but I've never seen the "timed out" message you're getting.
