I ran into the same problem today. Installed cifs and the service would not 
start (stuck in maintenance mode).

It turned out to be #2 below - after running add_drv, as described below, 
smb/server came out of maintenance mode (svcadm clear ...) and cifs was 
operational.

I am running svn_127, the latest load as of Nov 26 2009, and this issue is 
still present, but the workaround works (very important to me since I wanted to 
test CIFS without restarting which would reest my ongoing ZFS resilver).

Thanks
