aufofs fail to mount cifs shares on Ubuntu 22.04

I followed the instructions to mount my cifs shares via autofs (https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Autofs/) but unfortunately, autofs doesn't any of them.

/etc/auto.master looks as following

## Sample auto.master file# This is a 'master' automounter map and it has the following format:# mount-point [map-type[,format]:]map [options]# For details of the format look at auto.master(5).##/misc  /etc/auto.misc/media/cifs /etc/auto.cifs-shares --timeout=60 --ghost## NOTE: mounts done from a hosts map will be mounted with the#       "nosuid" and "nodev" options unless the "suid" and "dev"#       options are explicitly given.##/net   -hosts## Include /etc/auto.master.d/*.autofs# To add an extra map using this mechanism you will need to add# two configuration items - one /etc/auto.master.d/extra.autofs file# (using the same line format as the auto.master file)# and a separate mount map (e.g. /etc/auto.extra or an auto.extra NIS map)# that is referred to by the extra.autofs file.#+dir:/etc/auto.master.d## If you have fedfs set up and the related binaries, either# built as part of autofs or installed from another package,# uncomment this line to use the fedfs program map to access# your fedfs mounts.#/nfs4  /usr/sbin/fedfs-map-nfs4 nobind## Include central master map if it can be found using# nsswitch sources.## Note that if there are entries for /net or /misc (as# above) in the included master map any keys that are the# same will not be seen as the first read key seen takes# precedence.#+auto.master

and accordingly /etc/auto.cifs-share

documents -fstype=cifs,uid=${UID},credentials=/home/${USER}/.smbcredentials ://nas.local/documentsmultimedia -fstype=cifs,uid=${UID},credentials=/home/${USER}/.smbcredentials ://nas.local/multimediasoftware -fstype=cifs,uid=${UID},credentials=/home/${USER}/.smbcredentials ://nas.local/software

Unfortunately, /media/cifs stays empty.I did a plausibility check if the credentials are working by running

sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/home/${USER}/.smbcredentials,uid=${UID} //nas.local/multimedia  /mnt

So everything is fine there, so I guess it isn't the problem with the cifs authentication on the servers side.

Hence I stop the service and ran it in foreground giving me the output below.

$ sudo automount -f -v```Starting automounter version 5.1.8, master map /etc/auto.masterusing kernel protocol version 5.05mounted indirect on /media/cifs with timeout 60, freq 15 secondsghosting enabledattempting to mount entry /media/cifs/autorun.infattempting to mount entry /media/cifs/.xdg-volume-infolookup(program): lookup for autorun.inf failedfailed to mount /media/cifs/autorun.inflookup(program): lookup for .xdg-volume-info failedfailed to mount /media/cifs/.xdg-volume-info

Well, I found a tracked bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1855318 dealing with Ubuntu 20.4. At that point I do not really know how to solve this since if it's really a bug I wonder that 4 years later this is still an issue, especially as autofs is a pretty heavily used package. Thus, my suspicion is growing that I have a flaw in my configuration. Hence any help is highly appreciated.
