When Windows automagically authenticates in the background, it doesn't
actually pass the login and password to other network resources. It
merely passes along the fact that authentication has occurred, and
assumes that other network resources will trust it.

Some resources want a real username and password, none of that automagic
stuff. Try changing the auth type on the originating folder to 'basic'
(turn off 'anonymous' and 'Windows integrated') and see if that helps.
You'll get a login prompt, but then it should be okay.
