I was originally trying to do something similar.  

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1130781 for my Ubuntu bug report for more info.

The bug report probably doesn't concern you, but I do have a working fstab line & pointers to a discussion about this earlier.

When I log into my (XFCE) desktop (twice - probably a bug), I have my ticket created and accessing files in my homedir (smb mounted) works just fine.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,

Robert
