I could not go as far as you have gone with cifs (and smb2) against
Windows 7 and Windows 2008 server.
For me even session setup was/is not working.    I found event log on
Windwos box to be useful.
I keep getting this error for both cifs and smb2 logins against both
Windows7 and Windows 2008 Server.
