"Unknown Marker" normally means you're using the wrong TDS protocol
version (5.0 when you want 8.0, say). But you seem to have done
everything correctly.

Try setting the TDSDUMP envrironment variable and look at the log. It
should tell you what server it's *really* connecting to and what TDS
version it's using. If it's not 8.0, maybe your freetds.conf file isn't
in the right place?

Long shot: if 1272 isn't the right port, maybe there's another tcp
server, not SQL Server, that is replying with a non-TDS message.
