Anders probably has guessed the problem right, that it is an NTFS tree and so the Unix permissions seen by ls -al or SecureShare Access in Explorer will be derived permissions and not "real" unix permissions. SecureShare Access has a checkbox that tells you whether a file has an ACL or not.

In any case, I assume you have opened a call with NetApp support, as they will be able to take you through the solution.

...

After on of the NT/Admins went bonkers last night moving a bunch of users to the NetApp (without consulting me first), I have found that appox 10% of the user catalogs is owned by root, with unix-style permissions are drwxrwxrwx, and I am unable to change owner or permissions from either nfs-side or using SecureShare tool

on the NT.

...

The users are unable to write to their nfs-mounted files

At the time of migration, the usermap.cfg did not contain mapping of the Admin account/group to root, and

wafl.nt_admin_priv_map_to_root on wafl.root_only_chown on

Does anyone have a clue to what can remedy this?

Try adding anon=0 onto your options in /etc/exports - that should allow you to change permissions as long as your UID is 0 (AFAIR)
