Ok, sorry that I pull up this old topic.
But yesterday I have observed on our osol cifs server, that also for
normal shares this problem occurs.
What it is here:
* Setup a box in ad mode (ldap + kerberos, ad based uids/gids)
   * Join with smbadm
   * ...
   * autosnapping and all that
* then add another bunch of disk space to have a dedicated data pool
   * zpool... crate...
* mount it on /export/data
* create a dataset "Sekretariat"
=> data/Sekretariat                              8,12G   232G  6,77G
/export/data/Sekretariat
Now create 2 subdirs /export/data/Sekretariat/Sekretariat-A and
/export/data/Sekretariat/Sekretariat-B
* set acls correctly (Domain\ Admins and Sekretariat group should have
access)
* use sharemgr to create a share group sekretariat publishing to the
servers ad space
* add both directories as individual shares
* ensure snappshots are created and all is fine

Now have a look to previous versions tab from a win7 client, here it
always stays empty on everything in the share.

Some month ago there was only one share pointing to
/export/data/Sekretariat (the root of the dataset), previous versions
were working fine.


Due to my boss wants to have this separated I altered the share
structure, with the result that now the users can't retrieve previous
versions of their files as this tab now stays completely empty.
