[jcifs] jCIFS and Share name length?

[rjw]

Mike,

With the URL encoding/decoding fix I made, spaces work just great.

But I'm poking around with share name length. What I'm seeing is that 
jCIFS doesn't even seem to get a response back containing the long share 
names... it looks like Windows NT is preventing us from seeing them...

I'm wondering if we need to set a header field differently to masquerade 
as something capable of seeing longer sharenames...
