[Samba] Understanding NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND

Everything under \\dapper\dfs is all part of the same shared folder, 
which is F:\dfs on dapper.  My deep knowledge of dfs is lacking, but our 
dfs setup is very simple - just one share in fact (so dfs probably 
overkill, but the previous admin may have been thinking for growth).  In 
fact, when I say \\dapper\dfs, I am not sure if I am accessing that via 
DFS or accessing the underlying shared folder itself.  \\cisnet\dfs 
takes you to the same place, perhaps that is DFS whereas \\dapper\dfs is 
just a regular old shared folder?  Sorry I am not more knowledgeable 
about this, I am researching it now.

Here is a chunk of the level 10 client debug, the part where the errors 
are showing up (for brevity, I did not include all 2000+ lines of output 
but I can if needed).  I'm not so good at parsing this to tell whether 
or not it was a client side or server side error, perhaps you can help...
