Issue

In a CIFS share, some files show access denied while other files allow access (read or write). In some cases, attempts to view permissions also fail due to a lack of access.

The following holds true in this scenario:

Windows ACLs on the file is such that the user attempting access has rights (or assumed to be if the user cannot view permissions)
Export policies show that the client should have access to the volume; however, if other files are accessible, then export policies for a volume should not be an issue.
