Very odd. Looks like packets are getting mangled. What type of server is
ourmachinename? Samba, NT, etc? Can you get a packet capture to go with
this [1]? You might try setting jcifs.smb.client.useBatching=false to turn
off batching (ie. andx commands) but I suspect the problem is larger than
that.
