Would you be able to do this as machine specific shares? Or are you 
mounting user specific shares?

I could throw together a simple Samba GPO for mounting machine shares. 
This would allow you to mount as root via winbind. I started working on 
this a while back, but never finished it. If you are willing to test 
something, I could throw something together.
