Matt, Both JCIFS and the internal NTLM engines are pure java, platform independent implementations that make no use of Windows specific functionality. This is all I can tell you. There is only one person on the project with in-depth understanding of NTLM. You may want to try your luck posting this question to the dev list along with Wireshark packet dumps of successful and unsuccessful session (this is the first thing you most certainly will be asked to produce).
