Public bug reported:

root at mediacenter:/usr/share/squeezeboxserver# lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
Release:	11.04
autofs5:
  Installed: 5.0.5-0ubuntu6
  Candidate: 5.0.5-0ubuntu6
  Version table:
 *** 5.0.5-0ubuntu6 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

On a fresh install of natty, I was trying to automount a SMB share.
Following the documentation, I was still unable to get the share to
mount (kept failing with various messages: No username...
or
mount wrong fs type)

In researching this problem I came across a reference to smbfs.
Once I installed smbfs, things started working.

I suggest that a dependency for smbfs be added to the autofs 
package.
