Hi Jano,

That's definitely a bug. Try this package:

  http://207.192.69.113/~miallen/jcifs-1.3.12c.jar
  http://207.192.69.113/~miallen/jcifs-1.3.12c.zip
  http://207.192.69.113/~miallen/jcifs-1.3.12c.tgz

I suspect you don't have domain-based DFS so getTrustedDomains is
returning null. I just needed to add a little clause to check for
that.

Let me know how it goes either way so that I can push this out to the public.

Thanks,
Mike
