Ok, Hal is doing the mounting.  I don't know anything about it either.
 Dolphin must make the request, then hal mounts it as your user (is
your user UID 1000?) so you're able to access it.

The symlink is a red herring.  It works when the share is mounted as
your user, and it doesn't when its mounted as something else.  So you
could put it in fstab with the user option.  You could look into how
hal does it, so you can reproduce it.  Or you can keep on using
dolphin to do it.
