Had the same issue with Karmic autofs. After installing smbfs it worked. Some errors that I catch, maybe they help:
kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22 automount[24870]: >> missing codepage or helper program, or other error -- auto.smb acts weird when smbfs is not installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158816 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
