You can achieve this by the method I suggested.

In /etc/auto.master, define the directory you want to mount your CIFS 
share like:

/smb  /etc/auto.winshare

In /etc/auto.winshare you have a line like:

winbox  -fstype=cifs,rw,noperm,user=zzzzz,pass=xxxxxx,workgroup=yyyy 
://winbox/sharename

When you do a ls /smb/winbox, the remote share gets mounted on /smb by 
autofs.  It works like nfs automount.
