On my gio-mounted NAS, I have a directory which I can access via ls /run/user/1001/gvfs/smb-share:server=diskstation,share=video. To make it easier, I mkdir /mnt/diskstation and do sudo ln -sf /run/user/$(id -u)/gvfs/smb-share:server=diskstation,share=video /mnt/diskstation/video.
But now when I do ls -la /mnt/diskstation/video I get
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 59 Mai 12 23:35 /mnt/diskstation/video -> /run/user/1001/gvfs/smb-share:server=diskstation,share=video
and not the content of the directory on the NAS. What do I have to do to see the contents of the NAS directory when I do ls /mnt/diskstation/video? ls -L /mnt/diskstation/video works, but I want it to work without -L.

You have created a symbolic link to your run file. So when you do do ls -la /mnt/diskstation/video you are shown the properties of the symbolic link.
In order to execute the run file you have to enter/mnt/diskstation/video (without ls -la).
This should have the same effect as entering/run/user/1001/gvfs/smb-share:server=diskstation,share=video.
NB: If your run file mounts the samba share on /mnt/diskstation (as the name suggests), your symbolic link will be hidden after the mount (until umount).
