Umsdos was not design this way. Some features of the VFS prevented umsdos to be "simply" stackable on anything. I can't remember well though. Umsdos do some calls directly to the msdos code.
Doing what you need is possible though. The simplest way to achieve it is (or the cheapiest) is to create a usmbfs and replace all occurence of msdos_xxxx function call with equivalent (when available) in smbfs.
Doing a clean "stackable" umsdos is possible as umsdos does not rely on much magic of the msdos fs.
