You can't restore from a NDMP backup onto a CIFS share. NDMP backup streams are vendor specific,  you need a box of same vendor before you can restore data.

Sorry for the bad news :(

CIFS doesnt support this, you need to first dump the data in to a filer share or qtree and later share that has a CIFS so you can mounted in your windows box and download the data
