Mount TimeCapsule Drive from Linux

After doing a little digging around, I found a great way to connect to an Apple Time Machine from nix...

mount.cifs //ip_of_timecapsule/drive_name/ /path_on_linux_server/data/ -o pass=timecapsule_password

In my case, I use the following command to attach to my TimeCapsule 'data' drive to a mount point named /media/data/ on my home linux server-

mount.cifs //192.168.1.1/data/ /media/data/ -o pass=mypassword
