samba - Nov 2003 - smbclient ls error: NT_STATUS_PATH_NOT_COVERED (user permissions are okay)

Hi everyone:

I'll try to be both succinct and accurate here:

Attempting to get a directory listing from a DFS export fails using
"Samba 3.0", but works fine on windows (XP, 2K, NT4).  
This happens via smbclient and via "smbmount"ed
directories.  I had no problem joining this domain, and the user that
I am connecting as has permissions to open these folders (I checked from 
another machine). Testparm yields no problems, and I can l

Here is an except of the error (NT_STATUS_PATH_NOT_COVERED) in context:

[bioinfo@array30 bioinfo]$ smbclient -d1 -A ~/.smbcred -I 129.85.1.211

I have limited knowledge as to the way our balkanized IT department has
set this up on the server side, but it is my understanding that they are 
pulling together many file shares from various departments and presenting 
them to this department as a single virtual share 
(ie: "//rockefeller.edu/genearray").  Is this related to the ip (-I)
argument
that was necessary to connect in the first place?  Without it I get a 
"connection refused" error (it points to one of the DFS servers).

Any thoughts where to proceed next?

Thanks
