OS X automount, Samba and invisible folder

[Jago]

I have been using the well-documented method of having OS X automount Samba shares for a long time. Recently I noticed that my Crashplan hasn't done a backup in a long time. Investigating this, Crashplan seems to think "smbshares > CRASHPLAN > 726881078389057120" is not available. I look under my Mac's /smbshares and true enough, I see 2 folders out of 3 that are supposed to be there. My /etc/auto_master and /etc/auto_smb have not changed, so I do:

Dans-MacBook:~ dnaumov$ cd /smbshares

Dans-MacBook:smbshares dnaumov$ ls
CIFS       CRASHPLAN         dnaumov

Dans-MacBook:smbshares dnaumov$ ls -lah
ls: CRASHPLAN: Permission denied
total 66
dr-xr-xr-x   5 root     wheel     4B Sep 25 12:20 .
drwxr-xr-x  33 root     wheel   1.2K Sep 23 21:38 ..
drwxr-xr-x   8 dnaumov  wheel    16K Aug 16 14:50 CIFS
drwxr-xr-x   7 dnaumov  wheel    16K Sep 25 12:09 dnaumov

Dans-MacBook:smbshares dnaumov$ sudo ls -lah
Password:
ls: CRASHPLAN: Socket is not connected

drwxr-xr-x   8 dnaumov  wheel    16K Aug 16 14:50 CIFS
drwxr-xr-x   7 dnaumov  wheel    16K Sep 25 12:09 dnaumov

What the hell is going on?
