Thanks to the users that replied. The problem is totally unrelated to DSN lookups. To make it work I had to suid root /sbin/mount.cifs and add -o user=workgroup/username%password,uid=500,gid=500 It's a disappointment and a big security concern :( but at least it works (although I'm a bit surprised that on a system where your can't eradicate selinux you have to resort to the sledgehammer/suid to make user-mounts work).
