In the meantime I played with the realpath() function, which is used in smbmnt.c and which the error comes from. The path "~/filer" is o.k. and realpath() can extract the real path. I suppose, that the problem is in smbmount.c in the way how smbmount delivers the path to smbmnt(). Perhaps a bug? However.
Is there a way, to insert a line in /etc/fstab for convenient mounting of user specific smb shares? How should the syntax be?
