Basic explanation: Mounting a SMB share with CIFS fails saying in the
kernel log that it can't traverse up to the root directory if the root
directory is not accessible (in my case with NTFS ACLs), even if
prefixpath is used.
Read a few earlier threads on this that said this was fixed, but it
seems to still be a problem for me on 3.7.0-rc8+.

Nope, not fixed. With current kernels, you need to be able to access
the entire path down from the root of the share. I'd be happy to help
review patches if someone does fix it however...
