The problem appears to be that the registry value has no name.  I.e.,
its name is "", the null string.  Yes, the geniuses at Microsoft allow
you to create values with the null string as its name.  If fact, large
sections of the registry (typically the stuff developed on Win9x
first) are full of this.  When you look at them with regedit.exe it
calls them "Default" in the UI.  When you look at them with
regedt32.exe it calls them "<No Name>".

Not sure what rpcclient needs to do to handle this...
