Sorry, this is a known bug we discovered after 3.3.1 ship.
Turns out that Office2007 wants to use the SACL (security
audit acl) feature on Windows servers and fails in the way
you see if the remote server doesn't fail in *exactly* the
right way.

This will be fixed in 3.3.2, due out Thursday of this week.

Sorry for the problem.
