Hi,

I've tried both of those solutions before posting, no good. Here's the dump
(attached), I removed the hostname for privacy. The rest is all the same.

Thanks,
Fedor

Could you try 

        Database        = [test-db]
and
        Database        = test\-db

If neither of those work, I'd be interested to see a TDSDUMP log of the
attempts.  You'll need to set TDSVER=4.2 to see the login packet.  If
you post it, beware it will include your password (twice).
