     I have a Nas storage device that is direct connected to my router

I can quite happily mount the device albeit via using sudo. If I try
specifying the users and user options in the mount definition in fstab I
get errors saying that CIFS doesn't support those options, hence the
only option is to use root to mount the device. Does anyone know if this
is deliberate on the part of CIFS or is this a defect? Reading the man
page pointed at below is seems that CIFS will only allow Superuser
mounts, is that likely to change?

Just a thought: it may be that the automount is failing because it comes before the network is up.  If so, you could create a script that mounts it and call it from rc.local, as that's the last thing done during boot, and you know that you'll have connectivity by then.  It's not the most elegant way to do it, I know, but that's exactly the type of thing rc.local is for.
