[Samba] msdfs problems

[Robert Johannes]

I can't directly map the dfs link.  I can map to the dfs parent though
(i.e, \\mydfsservername\dfs, but not \\mydfsservername\dfs\folder1).

I'm kind of at a dead-end with this, since snoop and the logs have not
revealed much that I would consider to aid in the resolution of this
problem.
