Yes, unknown seems to be OS X's version of nobody. Actually, I have a 
nobody account too.

Like I said, this does work on Win2k, so I don't think its anything as 
simple as an account name or something, I think its on the lines of an 
authentication protocol flag or something.

Thanks for the suggestions though,
