Look at the last line quoted above. mount thinks that "2" is supposed
to be a mount point. I bet that's because the piece you quoted from
fstab is really on two lines, not one. Make sure it's all on one line,
even if it's past 80 characters.

When having problems mounting a filesystem, it's a good idea to try
mounting by hand; i.e. issuing a full mount command at the prompt,
without referencing /etc/fstab. That limits the chain of things that
can go wrong.
