The "nodfs" option was added by this patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=2c1b861539c15491593625920058e06452cd3747
which went in right after 2.6.27 came out so will be in 2.6.28. The patch is small and could be added to this 2.6.27 distro kernel easily enough. Apparently most distros did not ship the two problematic Samba versions on their server, or have done a mandatory upgrade, which is why we don't see this problem (server parsing of dfs paths) more often.
