smbfs and symbolic links

I'm having issues creating symbolic links on a mount_smbfs mounted filesystem on FreeBSD 9-RELEASE. Whether I try to create a symlink to a file/directory outside or inside of the share, I always receive
Code:
ln: [file/directory name]: Operation not supported.
I've tried mounts from an Ubuntu and FreeBSD 8.2 server. I've also added the following configurations to both servers:
Code:
     follow symlinks = yes
     wide links = yes
     unix extensions = no

Any suggestions?
 
SMB/CIFS doesn't support symlinks. It's a file system feature. Meaning the underlying file system can support it and samba will follow them but you can't create them on an SMB/CIFS shared folder.
