Sorin,

I just made some corrections on my personal website regarding that page. 
I was having issues using a credentials file last month, perhaps it's 
the same issue you are having.

All my backups started failing where a credentials file was being used. 
I don't know if it's a bug with autofs, or something else wrong within 
CentOS. I did away with using the credentials file, and instead passed 
the username and password in the autofs file itself. Everything started 
working again, and I just haven't had time to investigate what caused 
the issue.

I don't maintain those pages any longer on the CentOS wiki due to some 
issues I had there with interactions. You can find the most recent page 
at my website.

Did you try passing the username and password directly in the autofs entry?

machinename  -fstype=cifs,ro,username=$username,password=$password 
://machinename/C\$

Regards,
Max
