[jcifs] cannot write data to a named pipe

[Michael B. Allen]

I don't know if that will work over loopback. I seem to recall there
being problems with some CIFS and NetBIOS operations over loopback. Try
connecting to another machine. It does not need to be running the pipe
server to get beyond Connection refused. Connection refused means it
cannot even establish a socket. That doesn't really have much to do
with jCIFS. Try just opening a socket to 127.0.0.1 port 139. Also try
the real hostname or IP. Also try some of the basic jCIFS examples just
to see if anything works at all. Also read this:

A  program should be written to model the concepts of the task it
performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes  the  potential  for it to be applied to tasks that are
conceptually  similar and, more important, to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
