samba - May 2002 - Problems accessing files with (lib)smbclient

Hi!

Seems like I need some help with a really awkward problem I stumbled over 
today. In a remote access solution I developed, a Perl CGI script accesses 
a Windows NT 4.0 Server through Filesys::SmbClient and thus libsmbclient. 
Browsing the shares and the directories works perfectly but as soon as I 
try to get any file, it fails with a "Permission denied", even if I
try it
with the Administrator account.

The installed Samba is version 2.0.7 (SuSE 7.1) but I compiled 
libsmbclient.so from the 2.2.4 sources.

A try with smbclient (2.0.7) on the same machine gives me the following (the 
same happens with every other file in whichever directory it is):
| paul:/var/log/httpd # smbclient //ntserver/Projekte -UAdministrator
| added interface ip=192.168.0.99 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
| added interface ip=127.0.0.254 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0

On my local installation everything works as it should. I've got Samba 
2.2.1a (SuSE 7.3) in combination with a compiled libsmbclient.so 2.2.4. The 
server I access is a Windows 2000 Professional Workstation.

Has anybody an idea, why I can't get any files while it's no problem at
all
to list the directories (permissions are correct)?

Nobody? Ok, meanwhile I had access to server logs and here's some more data:
As soon as I do the get, in the NT system event log the following entry is 
added (translated from German):

| User:        ---
| Computer:    NTSERVER
| Event-ID:    2006
| Source:      Srv
| Type:        Error
| Category:    ---
| Description:
|   
|   The Server service received an incorrectly formatted request from
|   \\PAUL.
|   ("Der Server-Dienst hat eine falsch formatierte Anforderung von \\PAUL
|   empfangen.")

|   0050: 00 00 08 00 00 00 00 00
|   0058: 10 00 10 00

So, any ideas now? _Anything_ might be useful. Maybe somebody from the team? 
This almost looks like a bug. I also did some further searching on the 
error message and found this [1] and that [2] post, both from more a year 
ago which got no reply, too. Something like this is mentioned in the 
Changelog of the SP3 [3]. But the server I'm trying to access got SP6 so 
this should be fixed.
