That was it. After unchecking Enable Simple File Sharing, it all worked the
way it was supposed to. Thank you Carl!

And as a follow-up: 1) It worked fine before and I would imagine that Simple
File Sharing was enabled (the client wouldn't know how to even get there).
How could it, all of a sudden, make a difference? 2) Why would Simple File
Sharing make a difference in the first place? Why does it get in the way?

All the suggestions were wonderful and led me down paths that I hadn't
though of before.

Thanks so much to everyone!
