I already forwarded this report upstream, and please see the attached
reply. Sorry, I forgot to forward the reply to the bug.
The problem seems to be that the current version of smbnetfs is not
compatible with the new version of samba-3.2 and upstream is working
on fixing this.
Thanks,
Varun

Hello Varun,
I am sorry for long delay, i was a little bit busy.
This bug is raised by new libsmbclient library too.
libsmbclient-3.2 has practically the same api as libsmbclient-3.0 but has
changed internally a lot. The most notable change is the broken possibility to
use several samba context simultaneously without interlocking. libsmbclient-3.0
support this feature while libsmbclient-3.2 does not (see
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5847)
SMBNetFS relay on that libsmbclient-3.0 feature. It can be changed quite easily
at the price of much longer SMBNetFS responsibility.
Summarizing things: SMBNetFS require libsmbclient-3.0. If it can not be
fulfilled for upcoming debian release, it will be better to drop SMBNetFS
support from debian testing.
PS: I am currently working on proper porting of SMBNetFS to samba-3.2 but this
require a huge amount of changes.
