Not sure about the name translation issue but yes the system must be able
to translate the names.

I'm aware of the cifs issue.
I believe that support for smbfs mounts has been removed in favour of
cifs. There should be a fix for this sometime soon.

Yes. I've just upgraded to FC5 myself and I'm also seeing this.
I've spent some time trying to work out what's going on but haven't been
able to nail it yet.
You may also see a remount happen immediately after a mount has expired.
So far it appears this may be due to the hal package. I'm persuing that as
well.
