Netbench and Samba 2.2.1a

[Herb Lewis]

I run in user security and use altiris software to send remote
commands to the clients. I ran into this same problem but was
able to solve it by having the remote command to the client be
a batch file that mounted the share and then invoked the netbench
client program. That way the share mount and the client program 
are running in the same security context.
