I understood that paragraph to be complaining about the lack of
backends and fuse for browsing, but I suppose it could include the
missing shares-plugin as well.

However, I don't think that's the OP's issue, because if you've
involved /etc/fstab then you must have root access. The plugin
is meant to allow users to share their folders _without_ needing
root access.
