Why not use NFS from the Mac Client?
Did it work from 10.6? Maybe Apple modified their CIFS client a bit that now breaks with ONTAP?

Hi Toasters,
We are sharing a Unix sec. style qtree to (at least one) MacOS 10.7 client via CIFS and they are having problems saving files with MS Word. The client writes the new file to a temporary file and then fails to rename it into place. The temp file exists and is correct because we can verify this from a NFS client.
A Unix sec. style share appears to be a VFAT (not NTFS) volume to a CIFS client. Under the hood the filer enforces Unix permissions, of course, but all that is hidden from the CIFS client. I suspect that MacOS is looking for a permission that VFAT does not support and is erroneously assuming it cannot rename the file.
Just curious if this rings a bell with anyone and if there is any documentation or workaround for it. We are running DOT 8.0.1 7mode on the filer.
I need to get together with the user who is having trouble and use the sectrace command to see if the filer is actually denying access.
