No, you need to emit a redirection, otherwise you'll end up with
smb://some_hostsome_share (I guess that's what you get currently).
But you case is a lot more simpler than kio_ftp's.
Just do, in listDir

 if ( path.isEmpty() )
 {
    url.setPath("/");
    emit redirection( url );
 }

Well, I think you should decide between the following two options.
* Either that /dir/subdir/ is only the name of the item when viewing the
share from the toplevel dir, but when you enter it you get to nfs://host/something/
where something doesn't contain slashes (you can do that using the UDS_URL field)

* or you want that /dir/subdir/ the real name of that dir, including when entering
it, but in this case you need to encode it. You can't have /dir/subdir/ in the
name AND have 'up' go to /. I don't see how that would be possible - unless
by hacking KURL :(
