gvfs-mount smb://server/homes doesn't work. likely because valid users = %S is active, which means that this is as it was intended.
gvfs-mount smb://server/username works for me.

Also, I might add that it boils down to at least three (very much related) issues:

- Authenticated browsing, because:
* gvfs-mount smb://server/share doesn't work, likely because an anonymous bind on this share results in the share not found error, instead of authentication failed, because the anonymous user can't see this share.

- Authentication when connecting
* Anonymous bind should only be used as fallback.
* username@ should not be needed, because it should ask for the username and password, and current username should be default.

- nautilus cannot work with username@ mounted shares
* Should not be needed anyway
