help needed. I want to give thunderbird access to local folder on other computer. So I granted the local user /bin/mount and /usr/sbin/mount.cifs in sudoers. This works fine, using a bash script

#!/bin/bash
sudo mount -t cifs -o user=buebe -o pass=bue //buechers-vorn/thlocalfolder '/home/buebe/.thunderbird/nx1jxvuk.default/Mail/Local Folders'
thunderbird

But I cannot get it running via fstab on boot. I tried several things, like 

//buechers-vorn/thlocalfolder '/home/buebe/.thunderbird/nx1jxvuk.default/Mail/Local Folders' cifs user=buebe,pass=bue,_netdev 0 0

where _netdev should be the right argument for waiting until network is started. But I added this later. Also without this it doesn't work. Cannot figure it out. What am I missing ?

You have to change Local Folders in fstab to Local\ Folders, Then elimininate both ''

    You can use your script in your rc.local – PersianGulf Mar 12 '15 at 18:39
