EFS support in OSX

I have a Win2003 Server set up as a file server. I want to use EFS (Encrypted File System) to encrypt folders and files in Win2003. I've had problems with "permission denied" when trying to access the files from OSX.

So, is EFS supported in OSX or is there third-party software to enable this?

Thanks!
