I do not have a VE mounting CIFS, but a samba server.
I did a fast test inside a VE, with no other specific configuration than the 
VETH:

~# aptitude install samba-client
~# smbtree 
Password: 
BLAU
	\\TEST           		samba test server
		\\TEST\IPC$           	IPC Service (samba test server)
		\\TEST\TEST           	Testing
		\\TEST\PROJECTES      	GESTIO I DOCUMENTACIO DE PROJECTES

The Samba server and the Samba client are different VEs in the same server.
If smbtree works, mount.cifs should also work, shouldn't it?
