"Error getting detailed results from a client"

Question
-
I have (8) Win XP SP3 32-bit clients, the SMB/CIFS server is Windows 2008 R2 x64, and the controller is a Win XP SP3 32-bit machine.
Here is my truncated output from fsct run on the controller. Any idea why this is happening, “Error getting detailed results from a client” message?"
C:\fsct>fsct run controller /server fsct-winsrv /password xxxxxxxxxx /volumes "E:" /clients "fsctxp-01 fsctxp-02 fsctxp-03 fsctxp-04 fsctxp-05 fsctxp-06 fsctxp-07 fsctxp-08" /min_users 1 /max_users 8 /step 1 /duration 600 /workload HomeFolders /verbose debugserver's name: fsct-winsrv

FSCT controller sends "stop" command at the end of each test duration. The controller will wait for the client to finish up on the tasks. In our own testing, we have seen issues with Xp client hang up on calls to the active directory randomly. Using win 7 or Vista client will not have this issue.
