Hmmm, I was just looking at these for someone the other day.

dirpath seems to be used in functions that scan directories. I _believe_ 
that connect path is the path to the base of the tree that is shared, and 
orig path will be the path as in the share spec without any substitutions 
done, but could be wrong.

This refers to the snum, ie, the share definition in smb.conf as imported 
into smbd.
