The CIFS service will not allow you to access an object that is
outside of the mapped share or with a different mount point from
the root of the share.

There are a number of potential issues, for example, the mount
options may be different and/or the underlying file system may
be different.  The intent is that everything within a share will
behave consistently and have a consistent property set.

Even if both the file system type and properties are consistent
when the share is mapped, the root nodes are different, the
available space will be change independently and properties can
be changed.
