Sorry for the delay in responding, been busy with other stuff.

While we have a mostly NFS site, I use a tool called 'philesight' to trawl through my filers and build up DBs of disk usage on a per-directory basis. Makes nice pretty disk usage maps which you can drill down into via a web interface. I'd be happy to share my local version if you like.
Now it is Ruby based, and I'm purely a Unix guy, so I haven't a clue how it would work on CIFS volumes, unless you can also view them from a Unix box. Which might work, might not.
It's also based on the data collectors running once a week (I have big volumes of around 10tb in size, some with 30+ million files, so it takes a while to run) and the CGI interface just uses which ever the current DB is.
The tool could be modified for access reporting too I guess, but that's not something I've been all that interested it.
