Help with connecting existing NAS to freenas

[Grich]

So here my situation. I have existing NAS that lacks the advanced access rights that freenas has to offer. I would like to use freenas to control access to the files on this server. I have mounted a few of the directories from my current NAS to the freenas virtual, using the shell and just mount -t commands. Now im a bit lost about what to do at this point. If i try to share the directories or sub-directories i get "The path must reside within a volume mount point". can some help point me in the right direction?

Thank you

What it seems you're asking for is a single namespace to access your SMB shares on the network. This can be accomplished through the use of the Distributed File System (DFS), but don't expect this to work straight out-of-the-box. I suggest you google FreeNAS and Samba Standalone DFS.
