samba-2.0.7/source/scripts/installbin.sh overwrites /sbin/mount.smbfs
+
samba really wants to be built as root
=
The system where you rebuild the src.rpm ends up with a /sbin/mount.smbfs 
that points to  /var/tmp/samba-root/usr/bin/smbmount

Since the spec file already takes care of creating a non-absolute link:

Fixed in samba-2.0.7-22, which should be in the next
rawhide release.
