1.) You should be able to access sub directories inside a DFS root.
2.) This shouldn't be an issue since you're using the Samba-3 file 
server (smbd).  I don't think the ntvfs file server in Samba-4 supports 
DFS though.
3.) I'd use the following logging options to get to the bottom of this: 
"log level = 2 msdfs:8 auth:5 winbind:5 idmap:5 acls:3".  Or something 
to that effect.  You might even set log level to 1 and then only look at 
msdfs logging until you know what you want to take a closer look at.
