Gnome autostart, simple bash script doesnt run

Hi,

ive added two scripts to gnome autostart (sytem/preferences/session/...)

the first runs just fine:

#!/bin/bash

echo "test.sh was started" >/tmp/test-output

The second script is not executed or not executed corretly, dunno.
Its supposed to make windows network shares accessible through ~/Netzwerk

#!/bin/bash

status=$(pgrep -u progger fusesmb);

if [ ! -n "$status" ]; then
        fusesmb ~/Netzwerk &
else
        echo "already started"
fi

The script itself runs fine, i can execute it with "sh fusesmb-start.sh" and it works.
Permissions on both scripts are identical:

ls -alh ~/bin/fusesmb-start.sh ~/bin/test.sh 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 progger progger 134 2008-02-27 01:26 /home/progger/bin/fusesmb-start.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 progger progger  58 2008-03-02 23:25 /home/progger/bin/test.sh

Can you run "fusesmb" command as regular user? (if it's autostarted by gnome the script will be run with regular user privileges)
