So this is a problem with Nautilus.  I could theoretically use another file
manager and everything would work?

Is there a way to view and access all the shares on the machine at the DFS

It's nice to know others are having the same problem.  I was convinced I was
the one with the problem.  I was about to dig into fixing it.  I will look
for the Launchpad bug and post it here if I can find it.

right way, or you run out of ways to do it wrong. A win/win situation!
