Hi Gabriel, I also have an update:
Stupid user, I asked him to turn off the virus scanner and then try it. He said he did, and it still did not work. Well, it turns out he only disabled it, but did not turn it off. Of course, when I finally turned it off, the problem went away. Moral of the story: never trust an end user!!!
