Is widelinks configured in smb.conf on the samba server (also see the 
smb.conf man page entry on wide links, which often need to be enabled in 
order for symlinks to make any sense over the network).  This is 
especially important if the symlink is to an absolute path.   CIFS 
Symlinks in Samba were not very functional on older versions unless you 
used relative path names.

As an experiment for hardlinks you can also try doing it the windows way 
by turning off (echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled) which is 
also likely to fail but is worth a try.
