This exception is coming from the server. If the password is truely supposed to be
an empty string then it will be necessary to obtain a packet capture of a
successful authentication using a empty string "" password from another client
(preferrably Windows 2000) so that we can check to make sure jCIFS is properly
emulating that behavior.
