Not that there /is/ something going on, but the submitter would like something 
/to be/ going on.  I doubt that the above enhancement request would be accepted 
as is, since it modifies the permitted values for <auth-method> and is 
therefore out of compliance with the servlet spec.  But we'll see...

Are you using the NTLM HTTP filter that is available with jCIFS?  If so, it 
cannot be used in conjunction with NTLMv2, which the Vista box may well be 
insisting on.  Examine the LmCompatibilityLevel setting in the Vista system 
registry at HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa; make sure it's no higher 
than 3.

Even if you're not using the NTLM HTTP filter, we've had trouble with Vista 
connecting to non-Microsoft SMB servers when the above registry setting is 
higher than 3; XP works fine when at 5 (the highest setting), so Vista is doing 
something weird that we haven't figured out yet.
