Yes, currently the CIFS server cannot process symlinks to absolute
paths. The service will not allow you to go above the share root
and an attempt to follow an absolute path violates that rule. We are
investigating ways to deal with this:
6705814 CIFS: full path symlinks for files within the same
share should be supported

This was a problem with the original release of Windows 2000 due to
the use of SMB requests that are limited to 32-bit offsets. It was
fixed in a service pack (IIRC, SP2). This may be something similar.
We will investigate.
