Not sure what you mean by NAS DFS. I believe it is on an EMC NAS box of
some sort.
Confirmed that it works from a RHEL 5.4 box on an older kernel version,
details in the newly attached file.

DFS are a special type of shares, used to aggregate directories coming from
different locations into a single share.
Marking as affecting linux (kernel) since smbclient is working fine. Getting
the model of that EMS NAS box of some sort could probably help in debugging the
issue.

Works in smbclient, so looks like a kernel (CIFS) issue rather than a samba one.
Are those shares on the NAS DFS shares ?
