snapdrive, windows 2008 X64, pass through authentication

I have a filer which is not part of a Active Directory domain. It's running 7.2.5.1. There is no CIFS license installed on the filer (and none forthcoming). Snapdrive 6.0.1 is installed on a Windows 2008X64 server. I'm attempting to configure pass-through authentication as described in the docs.

I've created a local snapdrive user and add it to the Windows local administrators group. I've created a local user on the filer called snapdrive and added it to the BUILTIN\Administrators group on the filer. The passwords I've created for the Windows snapdrive user is identical to the filer snapdrive user.

I've installed snapdrive as the local snapdrive user. Everything looks fine when I open up the Snapdrive MMC. When I attempt to create a disk via snapdrive I get the following error:

SnapDrive Error

Access is denied

I've configured pass through authentication successfully in the past on Windows 2000/2003. Not sure if this is a Windows 2008 problem. Firewall has been completely turned off the Windows server.

Any suggestions?
