I can confirm that the 0001-autofs4-Use-real_cred-for-uid-gid-in- packets.patch fixes the problem.
I have tried the kernel located here: http://people.canonical.com/~sforshee/lp1629204/ And I have also applied the patch an top of the 4.4.0-38 kernel (commit be687e48ba9778ab2f28513bd50e1b274ba31f68) this fixes the problem there as well. Please release a fixed kernel for xenial asap! Thanks to everyone involved.

Fix: Use current->real_cred instead of current->cred for getting the requester's uid and gid. Regression Potential: Minimal. current->cred and current->real_cred are the same except when credentials are overridden, thus current->real_cred contains the same credentials that autofs had been using prior to the change which overrides the credentials during automount. --- Hello, I have run into a bug relating autofs's parameter substitution (e.g. UID, GID, etc) with kernel versions 4.4.0-38 and proposed 4.4.0-40. Kernel version 4.4.0-28 does things correctly but testing intermediate kernel versions is hard due to earlier bugs related with fs's. Incorrect parameter substitution makes CIFS mounting with variable credentials impossible. Wat was expected: $UID in autofs map are substituted by the uid of the user that starts the auto-mounting process. What actually happens: Root's uid (0) is substituted instead. This ill parameter substitution likely caused by recent fixes resolving permissions problems for nfs/cifs mounts and dfs referrals (#1626112 and #1612135). And possibly the fix 'fs: Call d_automount with the filesystems creds' but that is a wild guess. Furthermore; playing with the force_standard_program_map_env settings in autofs.conf and prefixing variables with 'AUTOFS_' does not solve anything.
