This sounds more like an autofs problem than an issue with cifs. autofs
generally just calls the mount program to do its bidding. If that
syntax works when mounting manually, it may be that autofs is munging
the command somehow. I'd suggest turning up autofs debugging and/or
stracing the automounter to see if you can determine what it's doing
wrong. You might also want to send this along to the autofs mailing
list.

Jeff Moyer's people page has some good info on what to collect when
tracking down autofs issues:
