Ohh, I get it, the "\" is a path separator for mount.cifs and I think
the handling of it may have changed recently ish.

So catch 22, autofs must escaped the "$" to prevent it being interpreted
as a macro and the generic mount module has no special knowledge of cifs
so it can't do anything about it. Worse, since "\" is a valid path
separator for UNC paths we can't just check the fs type and translate
them all. For example, what if we get :\\\\<server>\\service as the
location?
