[Samba] samba with nfs mount in "path" and MS Office App's

Is the samba server your PDC?

Maybe the trick is to use the NetApp as a windows server-  if you can 
join it to the Samba domain.

There are three different types of "qtree" security settings on Netapp Files: mixed,unix,windows. It might have something to do with the choosen security style. Netapp itself is using NFS3 (nfs4 can be turned on optionally): http://www.netapp.com/us/communities/tech-ontap/nfsv4-0408.html
