RHEL 7 mount.cifs only goes 4 depths in file system

I'm trying to mount a cifs share in RHEL 7with the following command:

mount -t cifs -o domain=xxx,username=xxxx,uid=xx,gid=xx \
//servername/sharelevel1/sharelevel2/sharelevel3/sharelevel4/sharelevel5 /mnt/X

and I get permission denied. The same command in RHEL 6 works. What was changed and can it be fixed?
