i'm a little confused.

i've gotten smb mount to work w/ autofs, but not used any script.

what i did was:

1. create a share dir in my window machine for file share access
2. add an auto.smb file w/ line 
"-fstype=smbfs,username=username,password=password:\\path" and
3. motify auto.master to include auto.smb

and i was copying files across smb w/ the smb folder auto mounted.

the windows machine had to be password protected.

hope this helps.
