I can confirm that this is still a problem on karmic. I just did a fresh install in a VM last night, and the only way I can get proper user/group perms is to use an old smb script that manually mounts the points with smbmount, passing the standard options:

-o password=$PASS,username=oubiwann,uid=1000,gid=1000

I have tried defining uid/gid in the auto.smb file to no effect; autofs continues to mount as root.

Here are my current versions:

Ubuntu 9.10
smbclient/smbfs 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.3
autofs 4.1.4+debian-2.1ubuntu2

/me uninstalls autofs and goes back to using manual scripts.
