It appears as though NTSSPI authentication is failing. Are you running a 
Windows domain environment, with common accounts on all the involved 
machines? If not, does the account for which you are trying to store a 
password have the same username/password on both the "problem PC" and 
the machine running the CredD?

If the answer is no to both these questions, NTSSPI authentication will 
not work between two distinct machines.
