See Bug ID 174785, "Attempting to mount a filer's CIFS share with a Microsoft Vista client (Beta 1) will result in a failure when using Kerberos authentication."
 
I know you're probably not using Beta, but try accessing the path using \\x.x.x.x\share rather than \\netapp\share.  This forces NTLM authentication.

    Subject: Vista and Netapp??

    I am just starting to test Vista against our netapp FAS 3020c filers.  We use these machines with the CIFS license for basic file sharing.  The shares have Active Directory permissions applied to them and the servers have been added to AD.  In Vista, I cannot connect to the servers using an AD account.  Only the accounts created on the filer itself will allow me to connect from Vista.  

    Has anyone run into this?  Any solutions?
