Bug Description
In an Active Directory environment served by a samba 4.1 server, I interated a linux mint 16 KDE client with winbind/kerberos authentication.
When I try to mount a directory from a samba3 server in this environment via samba mounter, the directories ~/Network/share get created, but nothing gets mounted. Syslog contains
Dec 25 16:42:32 scutum dbus[399]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.
kde.sambamounter'

I tried with and without passwords, although the kerberos ticket should make the mount work without a password. However, nothing works and I get the same behavior all the time.
For testing, I created a local user on the mint machine and tried to mount a share from the samba server with specific credentials of an AD user. This also fails with the same error message in syslog. The configuration dialog of samba mounter always displays "Not required" above the user/password fields, even if a local user tries to mount a share of the server which it can only access using different credentials.

I get the same error and behavior. on top of that. When i close the configuration dialog and re-open it, the username and password fields are blank.
I enabled debugging for CIFS, and dmesg shows a lot of output, but it only seems to ever try logging in as "Anonymous" or "Guest". Obviously that won't work.
I connect to a folder that doesn't require authentication, then everything works as expected.
