Thanks for the responses folks.... Ok, I got it working as a separate bind mounts as suggested. My fstab now includes the smb shares as follows:
/home/username/smbshare /var/chroot/sarge-ia32/home/username/smbshare none noauto,user,bind 0 0 worked great and I now have openoffice and other chroot programs able to see mounted shares from my home dir.

I did not check this as I currently don't use samba shares on my amd64, but maybe you could give it a try. -- Best regards / Mit den besten Grüssen Sven Krahn
