Me neither, and I've been a Netapp consultant for almost 4 years now after 10-12 years as a customer. Mixed mode is, in my personal and not official corporate opinion, a bit of a hack that should almost never be needed any more.
Ok, so it sounds like you've got a very locked down process here, so it should be possible to do what you want. The only gotcha might be in setting permissions on new files when written on the Unix side, to match the NTFS ACLs you want them to have. And that's the kicked I think.
This sounds like Ski needs to set up user mapping between AD and *nix - there are a couple of ways to do this, none of them too hard.
I wrote Ski offlist, and if John or anyone else wants to ping me in addition I can direct you to my corporate existence (not too hard to figure out, actually) where I can help get the right people connected to fix this kind of problem pretty quickly. I think.
In general, though, Data Ontap has come a long way in just the past couple of years in working with Unix and Windows at the same time. It used to be a real PITA to get working right, now it's just a minor hassle. Still not completely idiot-proof, but a lot better.
