I tried.  The only discussion I found was the link above.  If you can give me a pointer to another thread, I'd appreciate it.  I'll also try additional searches based on the information you gave below.

Ah, yes, the mounted CIFS share is reported as a FAT file system*.  So that may be the problem.  I'll try it with a Windows server sharing an NTFS volume and see if I get a different result.  

*It's actually a Network Appliance ONtap WAFL QTree, configured to use "UNIX" security model.  But ONtap reports "UNIX" QTrees as "FAT" file systems to CIFS clients.
