This is exatcly i have done. Here is my auto.master and auto.smb
/etc/auto.master includes

/data/share /etc/auto.smb   --timeout=60

/etc/auto.smb includes

uploads  
-fstype=smbfs,username=Administrator,password=xxx,uid=user,gid=ftpusers        
://hostname/uploads

It works great, thank to all those replied.
Cheers!
