	You're going to get whatever the error code was that was returned by the server trying to
	contact the domain controller of behalf of the jCIFS user. So you tell me; what happend? Did
	you get a worthless error code or maybe it was some errorcode that means "The domain
	controller is down" :~). Look at the errorClass and errorCode fields of the SmbException or
	SmbAuthException you got. If it was just "Access denied" then there's not much you can do
	about that.
