SMB Connection Resolve to AD, Point to User Share

I've got an unusual problem that deals with connecting via SMB under Snow Leopard, to a directory share with over 1,000 users. When I connect to the main directory share, the next level reveals 1,000 users, but I'd like to have the connection identify me as a registered user in AD at the time of authentication into the SMB connection, point to my specifically created share (or username, in this case), then only open that share (my share).

I'll give you an example of the pref script:

sudo cp smb://homebusiness.mine.com.inetloc "/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Favorites"

What I don't want, is for any user to authenticate via SMB, and have to filter through 1,000 users to find their specific share. I'd like to write it into a pref script such as I've done above and copy it into terminal, and write the path into the server favorites when a user logs in on any machine.

NAME
smbmnt - helper utility for mounting SMB filesystems SYNOPSIS
smbmnt mount-point [ -s <share> ] [ -r ] [ -u <uid> ] [ -g <gid> ] [ -f <mask> ] [ -d <mask> ] [ -o <options> ] DESCRIPTION
smbmnt is a helper application used by the smbmount program to do the actual mounting of SMB shares. smbmnt can be installed setuid root if you want normal users to be able to mount their SMB shares. A setuid smbmnt will only allow mounts on directories owned by the user, and that the user has write permission on. The smbmnt program is normally invoked by smbmount(8) It should not be invoked directly by users. smbmount searches the normal PATH for smbmnt. You must ensure that the smbmnt version in your path matches the smbmount used. OPTIONS
-r mount the filesystem read-only -u uid specify the uid that the files will be owned by -g gid specify the gid that the files will be owned by -f mask specify the octal file mask applied -d mask specify the octal directory mask applied -o options list of options that are passed as-is to smbfs, if this command is run on a 2.4 or higher Linux kernel.
