This can happen if you have explicitly mapped drives or printers or
some other resource on the server machine with those credentials (ie,
you accessed a folder or printer or something and told Windows to
'save' those credentials so it can magically reconnect anytime you
access that resource). If you have already established an
authenticated connection to that machine, then SSPI automtaically uses
those credentials.

Get rid of mapped drives, printers, etc. on that server and try again.
 The 'net use' command may be helpful in identifying and deleting
those kinds of connections.
