Linux – Bacula director daemon unable to authenticate windows 7 client

My director daemon in being hosted on an ubuntu machine and the client is a windows 7 machine. Both machines are on the same subnet. I'm having trouble authenticating between the server and the client. The error I get on the server side is as following:

10-May 12:00 mydir-dir JobId 6395: Start Backup JobId 6395, Job=server-bkp.2013-05-10_12.00.00_13  
10-May 12:00 mydir-dir JobId 6395: Using Device "RAID_Device"    
10-May 12:00 mydir-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Unable to authenticate with File daemon at "myserver.ip.address:9102". Possible causes:  
Passwords or names not the same or  
Maximum Concurrent Jobs exceeded on the FD or  
FD networking messed up (restart daemon).  
Please see http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Bacula_Freque_Asked_Questi.html#SECTION003760000000000000000 for help.  
*q  
root@cosmo:~# telnet my-client-hostname.domain 9102  
Trying myclient.ip.address...  
Connected to my-client-hostname.domain.  
Escape character is '^]'.

Connection closed by foreign host.  

My bconsole.conf file on the windows 7 client machine:

Director {
Name = mydir-dir
DIRport = 9101
address = mydir.domain
Password = "my_secret_password"
}

My bacula-fd.conf file on the client is as follows:

# Main Director
Director {
Name = mydir-dir
Password = "my_secret_password"
}


# File Daemon
FileDaemon {
Name = my-client-hostname-fd
FDport = 9102
WorkingDirectory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"
Pid Directory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
}

# Where to send messages.
Messages {
Name = Standard
director = mydir-dir = all, !skipped, !restored
}

This is what my /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf on the server is shown below. Note that some unnecessary information is removed.

# Main Director for backup control.
Director {
  Name = mydir-dir
  DIRport = 9101
  QueryFile = "/etc/bacula/scripts/query.sql"
  WorkingDirectory = "/home/bacula/bacula/working"
  PidDirectory = "/var/run/bacula"
  Password = "my_secret_password"
  Messages = Standard
}

# Restricted Director for monitoring.
Console {
  Name = mydir-mon
  Password = "my_other_password"
  CommandACL = status, .status
}

# Catalog within the MySQL database
Catalog {
  Name = MYDIR_Catalog
  DB Name = bacula
  DB Address = localhost
  user = "MY_USER_NAME"
  password = "MY_DB_PASSWORD"
}

# Storage to use for backup
Storage {
  Name = RAID_Storage 
  Password = "MY_SD_PASSWORD"
  Address = mydirhost.domain
  SDPort = 9103
  Device = RAID_Device
  Media Type = File
}


# Include client, job, schedule and fileset information
@/etc/bacula/clients/MY-CLIENT-HOSTNAME.conf

Finally, my /etc/bacula/clients/MY-CLIENT-HOSTNAME.CONF is shown below. Again, some unnecessary information is omitted.

# Client information for my-client-hostname
Client {
  Name = my-client-hostname
  Password = "my_secret_password"
  Address = my-client-hostname.domain
  FDPort = 9102
  Catalog = MYDIR_Catalog
}

*Note that I've used the same "my_secret_password" in all the files.

I have checked the firewall and the authentication via telnet and that seems to be working fine.
I'll be fantastically glad if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong!!!
