yes, this looks like a authentication failure. It probably is a NetApp server. Can any other client (e.g. Windows, smbclient etc.) authenticate using ntlmv2/ntlmssp to this server? SMB servers do not typically point_out/log what part of the request is invalid, so it is little harder to figure out how the request is incorrect.
