In that case, symlink should return with errno set to EPERM:

       EPERM  The filesystem containing newpath does not support the  creation
              of symbolic links.

There is no mention in the man page for symlink about EOPNOTSUPP.  I
do not know if this is a bug in the linux CIFS code or a documentation
bug.  Nevertheless, adding support for this return value is not in the
version in the svn repository.  Hopefully that solves the problem.
