Unable to mount file share in App Volumes 3

I am having difficulties setting up a file share within AV3. Here's the log output:

[2016-04-05 10:17:49 UTC] P3573R2063 INFO Started POST "/xms/file_shares" for 127.0.0.1 at 2016-04-05 10:17:49 +0000

Just for clarification, the file share does exist in the same domain and has full access on the share and NTFS for everyone. I am also aware of the other answered discussion that suggests this is down to the bind account format; however, that is also entered correctly.

Would anybody have any ideas what this could be caused by?

Can you please check whether the Domain Bind username has any non-ASCII characters or not?

That was in the right direction - it was caused by the domain user bind password containing special characters.

Resetting it to a basic alphanumeric password allowed me to add the share.

I am getting the same error trying to mount a fileshare.  I have verified that the bind account format is just the username, the username does not contain non-ascii characters and the password does not contain any special characters.  From the appliance, I verified I could mount the cifs share using the bind account credentials.  How can I see what credentials are being passed from the AV site?

I solved this issue by switching the AD domain join from domain\username to just username.
