No, you can't cross into separate filesystems with CIFS.  While the
ZFS path structure makes them look like folders, they're actually very
different things, and CIFS can't treat them the same way.

There was a previous post on the forum asking this, with a much more
detailed reply from Sun, but I can't find the link I'm afraid.
