One more thing to add, being a newbie didn't think of checking this yesterday.  Looking at the xml for the testcase, I see the credentials are set to my dummy user:

 

-<con:credentials>

<con:username>Bugs.Bunny@scribesoft.com</con:username>

<con:password>ILuvCarrots</con:password>

<con:domain xsi:nil="true"/>

<con:selectedAuthProfile>Basic</con:selectedAuthProfile>

<con:preemptive>true</con:preemptive>

<con:authType>Preemptive</con:authType>

</con:credentials>

 

so for some reason something in my config is causing them to be overridden.
