Try to add this
host msdfs = yes in the [default] section of your smb.conf it will 
activate the DFS referral support from Samba4 if it didn't help please 
provide us tcpdump traces between your s4 server and your client (1 is 
sufficient). See http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Capture_Packets for how 
to make a trace.
