Tried: \\\\SARATOGA\\pdf2 instead of IP.
Here is error:
mount error: couldn't resolve address for SARATOGA: Unknown error

I don't think it's a good idea to use backslashes in samba paths. Ordinary slashes should work.

SARATOGA/pdf2 (instead of IP)

the same error as before - bad UNC

\\SARATOGA\pdf2
also bad UNC
