DFS are a special type of shares, used to aggregate directories coming from
different locations into a single "share".
Marking as affecting "linux" (kernel) since smbclient is working fine. Getting
the model of that EMS NAS box of some sort could probably help in debugging the
issue.
** Package
Not sure what you mean by NAS DFS. I believe it is on an EMC NAS box of
some sort.
Confirmed that it works from a RHEL 5.4 box on an older kernel version,
details in the newly attached file.

Works in smbclient, so looks like a kernel (CIFS) issue rather than a samba one.
Are those shares on the NAS DFS shares ?
