Networked dirves are handled by so called redirectors, while "hardware" 
or i think device file systems are handled by installable file systems. 
Both of them are really hard to implement. Especially Cache manager and 
Permissions. ACLs get propagated to the object manager who makes the 
actual decisions.
The NTFS you saw is a kind of through propagation, which 
filesystem(=capabilities) the other side uses. And thus which features 
is able to handle.
