Listen to the manpage ... this is what I have in /etc/autofs.smbfs
test -fstype=smbfs,login=urban,passwd=xxx,uid=500 ://davinci/test
(No, I don't know the howto to be wrong, but the manpage comes with the
autofs package ...)
You have no problems with /etc/auto.master? Good.

Do you have the autofs-smbfs-mount-module? (mount_smbfs.so)

Another common(?) problem is the changes to smbmount between samba 1.9 and
2.0. But it sounds like you haven't run into this yet, here is some useful
info anyway:
"Mike Warfield has a script and some information at
http://www.wittsend.com/mhw/smbmount.html that you will probably find
useful."
