IIRC "command 3" means the client software is trying to use Kerberos
instead of NTLM. The decode library use in the helper you have does not
understand the difference between the two and produces that message.
This seems to be a common problem of the non-Windows helpers.

In general I'd suggest looking at going to Kerberos. Microsoft has
formally deprecated NTLMv2 now and Windows7 software is starting to not
use it at all.
