Okay I think I got it.
I had to change the mount point. samba will not mount a drive on the root.
The mapping must be inside the user directory. I changes fstab like so:
//clinical/Main /home/rwright/mnt/Main smbfs
users,noauto,rw,username=guest 0 0
//clinical/Public /home/rwright/mnt/Public smbfs
users,noauto,rw,username=guest 0 0
Now it works.
