Hello,
We were running ONTAP 9.0, IMHO this was a DFS issue not a NetApp issue.
In my post I created a regular share call nashomedir without %w so DFS would be able to access an actual share, either deleted nashomedir and recreated it with the command below:
vserver cifs share create -share-name nashomedir -path %w -share-properties oplocks.browsable, changenotify, show-previous-versions, homedirectory
