Have you tried the same technique that works for AFP shares? Make the connection to the shares while logged in, then drag the icons for the shares to the login items window in the accounts preference pane for your account. I'm at work and don't have access to any SMB shares to confirm. On next login, you will be asked to confirm connection to the shares.
