Thanks for the report.  Looking back at the previous thread, it seems we
chose not to change the code (to ignore EINVAL for fsync-on-a-directory)
on the grounds that CIFS couldn't be considered a supported filesystem
anyway.  Do you find that panfs works all right for Postgres other than
this issue?
