Well using option II with success. Some of mine config files to get you going.
cat /etc/autofs/auto.master
# $Id: auto.master,v 1.1 2000/08/08 17:53:33 achim Exp $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
/smbnet /etc/autofs/auto.smbnet --timeout=30
cat /etc/autofs/auto.smbnet
# $Id: auto.misc,v 1.2 2002/10/27 05:21:15 bcowan Exp $
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage
#boot -fstype=ext2 :/dev/hda1
#cd -fstype=iso9660,ro :/dev/cdrom
#floppy -fstype=auto :/dev/fd0
xp -fstype=smbfs,users,ro,username=someuser,password=somepass ://xp/DIVX
storage -fstype=smbfs,users,rw,username=someuser,password=somepass
://storage/Storage
camera -fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev,noexec,user,gid=100,umask=000 :/dev/sda1
local.conf.py
VIDEO_ITEMS = [ ('Movies', '/media/movies/Films'),
('XP movies','xp:/smbnet/xp'),
('Jazz captures', '/media/movies/Jazz'),
('Storage movies','storage:/smbnet/storage')]
Notice the hostname xp or storage before the path, it tries to ping
the hostname and when succesfull the entry shows up in the menu.
Good luck.
