Hello,
I found a problem, that started to reproduce on my new environment (archlinux), before that I used Debian Wheezy and everything worked fine.
The point is that I can't automount smb shares with dollar sign (Ex.: //hostname/C$).
It happend because two facts:
1. Autofs reads '$' as a special symbol
2. mount.cifs reads '\\' as a delimiter
So in my case if I returns "//hostname/C$" from auto.smb, then automount daemon replace '$' to '' and if I returns "//hostname/C\\$" then mount.cifs crops "\\$" and uses '$' as a prefixpath mount option.
I attached simple fix for autofs-5.1.2, that drops back slash after arguments parsing. It works in my case,
