If your command prompt is being run as "administrator"
it will not be able to see the Kerberos credential caches
that are maintained by NetIdMgr.  This is because the
"administrator" processes are actually in a different
session.

If you are using multiple identities in NetIdMgr, the
kerberos command line tools will only be able to access
the "default" identity.  If the command prompt is not
running as "administrator" try setting the default
identity again.
