[jcifs] "Invalid operation for IPC Service" - while trying to list files

I am terribly sorry - filer isn't an XP pro workstation (I was working
with a different XP workstation most of the time and hence the
mistake).  It is our corp file server and I don't know exactly what it
is (some sort of netapp server, I think.  I'll find out exactly
tomorrow).  Here is what jCIFS thinks though.

Apologies again for the wrong info earlier.
