One thing popped out at me in the Necron FAQ that might shed a little light on the subject.
Necron FAQ 1.1 Page 5 2nd row
Q: Can a veil of darkness be used instead of movin onto the board when a unit arrives from reserve?(p84)
A: Yes
This just makes me more confused really, but does anyone else think this might be relevent when discussing Zahndrekh's rule?

Yeah I just realized that the title of the thread really doesn't reflect what was being discussed. Think I'll go hide in a corner now and maybe start another thread later

Simple answer - The veil of darkness doesn't grant Deep Strike to the unit. So, no, they can't utilize his rule.
But, as happyjew said, I'm sure it's been discussed (as this seems very familiar) or if you can't find it just make a new thread.
