i also just started looking into Alfresco and as it happens i have practically the same questions you have except i have a novell server instead of a netapp device. heres what i found which made me conclude that this system wont work for my needs…

ALfresco has its own java based CIFS server which would have to run on the storage machine, novell in my case and netapp in your case?

Well, I thought that before fighting a lot against Kerberos and AD.
What i think now, I will like if a enginner correct me if wrong is that Alfresco si 2 Services in one.

1º Web UI /WebDav -> Used for login, for creating entrys in Database and so on
2º Cifs server -> Integrated and running in alfresco, he gives the "api" to webui to show the files in the dir.root

So both thigs seems to be in the same program, and I think u dont need to run the cifs server in the cabin.

In my case, i just replace dir.root for a share \\IP\share with the correct permisions.
That Worked for basic autentification, but not for integrating with kerberos (until now) but i will still fight.

So, try to just change the dir.root property for the share (or something) for net… COPY all contents so u mantain the same estructure an indexes, and That worked for me.
