It is not expected that an admin would try to administer shares, access control 
included, from any other management tool. 

Even if you were to successfully set ACLs to subfolders, they'd be overwritten 
the next time group access control is modified from within the OF interface. 

If you require such fine-grained access control, then you should export disk 
blocks from Openfiler via iSCSI, mount, and create CIFS shares within your 
Windows server infrastructure which can then be exported to clients.
