unknown file system error in fstab

unknown file system error in fstab

Anyone have an idea why a cifs mounted share suddenly doesn't work in fstab? I can mount it from the command line, but mount -a gives "unknown file system '-o'. I had a bit of trouble getting it to work a few weeks ago, but after some research I figured out the line that I needed.
//10.x.x.x/shared /mnt/shared -o credentials=/etc/cifspwd,rw,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 0 0
Then after updating last week and rebooting the server, it wouldn't mount and I had to "skip" it. As I mentioned, I can mount it manually, but not via fstab.
I'm running server 12.04
