I just tried something similar and failed to reproduce your problem on
a NetApp here.  But I am not using Solaris, I'm using GNU/Linux.
Since I have no access to a Solaris system, I'm not able to diagnose
the problem directory, so I'm afraid you will need to do a lot of the
investigation.

Please figure out

1. What you expect find to do
2. Whether it is actually doing that
3. If not, where the behaviour diverges from what you expect

You might find it helpful to use a debugger to set a breakpoint on the
"error" function.   You may also find it helpful to compare system
call traces between your Solaris and Linux systems (since I assume
both platforms have access to the same NetApp filers).
