Jim,
This appears to be a repeat thread from the same poster.
I had mentioned to him previously that another approach that might be easier is to create an NFS share on the Linux host and install MS Services for UNIX on the Windows server and mount the Linux server's directory and read from it.
He is using Windows Server 2003 if I recall, and Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 both have an NFS client built in (but often not installed in default configurations).

nfsconfig
nfsconfig(8) System Manager's Manual nfsconfig(8)
NAME
nfsconfig - Launches the SysMan Menu at the Network File System Configuration (NFS) level, where you can configure a system as an NFS
server or as an NFS client
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/nfsconfig
/usr/sbin/sysman nfs
DESCRIPTION
The NFS Configuration section of SysMan Menu is used by the System Administrator or the UNIX system manager to manage NFS configuration
issues.
It allows the system to be configured as an NFS server (to make its file systems available to remote machines), or as an NFS client (to
mount remote file systems).
Before using nfsconfig, be sure to configure Network Interfaces using the Network Configuration section of the SysMan menu.
You can configure your system as an NFS Server, an NFS Client, or both. However, if the Network Interfaces are down, the following daemons
will not start: nfsd, pcnfsd, proplistd, mountd, and automountd.
Use nfsconfig to do the following: Manage the configuration of the system as an NFS server. You can only configure your system as an NFS
server if the NFS Server option is built into the kernel. Manage the configuration of the system as client-only system Specify file sys-
tems to be mounted or exported Start and stop the NFS daemons
Online Help:
Online help is available for the NFS dialog boxes. You can get help by selecting the Help button on any dialog box.
