I have a similar problem, that a normal user cannot mount the cifs share (it was possible with smbfs though before that). My workaround is to write the fstab entry and add permissions for the user or all users to mount with "sudo". That way it works flawlessly. I do not use the credentials part, don't know if it makes a difference.

And to add some more thoughts: I noticed that you write "e$" for the share name. When I watched the shares on a Windows machine some time ago with krusader, it showed two entries for each one share. If I remember it right it didn't work for me to put the $ at the end. Maybe try with just "e" instead of "e$"?
