With Lion, Problems Accessing Shared NTFS Folders with SMB://

Question

We are testing a local login script that we created for our Macintosh users on Lion. It has worked fine on all OS X versions prior to 10.7. Listed below is the script that we are using. When we run the script, it now mounts a folder called "home" instead of "username" and throws an error stating that "The folder can't be opened because you don't have permissions to see its contents." I have referenced the following Apple document and it was not helpful in resolving the issue.
The following is the share path that we are trying to mount to in the script:
/home/username
and the following NTFS permissions have been provided to the respectively listed directories.
/home -- All users can Read attributes, Read extended attributes, Read permissions
/home/username -- All users have full control of this folder
Here is the script that we place in /usr/local/sbin:
#!/bin/bash
clear
username="$(whoami)"
IP="$(dig $HOSTNAME +short)"
VOLUMES="/Volumes/Workarea /Volumes/$username"
for volume in $VOLUMES ; do
    [ -d $volume ] && umount -f $volume
done
if [ "$username" != "adminuser" ] && [ "$username" != "setupuser" ]; then
    osascript -e "try" -e "mount volume \"smb://domain.com/Workarea\"" -e "end try"
    osascript -e "try" -e "mount volume \"smb://domain.com/home/"$username\" -e "end try"
fi
killall -u $username Terminal
I am not sure what additional NTFS permissions need to be provided or if we have something that we need to edit in our script since Apple changed some of the SAMBA items in Lion.

Cross posted to here in case there is some additional ideas that come from a different community of Apple folks.
