Yes, autofs uses samba 1.9.x options. There is a script to translate 1.9
options to 2.0, go to:

It handles most other things that differ ...

A third way to fix it is to change smbmount to accept options in normal
mount format and calling it mount.smbfs. That would make the mount_smbfs
module redundant.
(Maybe it's time I sent my "lovely" patch to the smbmount maintainer again
