Thanks for the info and suggestion--I've passed it on to the netware admin, and hopefully this will resolve it.
Thanks!

Our Netware admin has come to me looking for some assistance in updating the Netware password via a script across all of her servers (due to a security requirement, they all have to be changed every 90 days now). To do it manually involves running a dsmc incr of one file on every server and inputting the Netware ID and password. Because of the number of clusters, she's calculated that this change could take up to 36 hours every time it needs to be done, and is looking for a way to shorten the timeline. I did suggest that she use the -nwuser=servername\user:password option. When she tested it out, it worked for the session, but did not update the password file. Has anyone ever tried to do anything like this?
