setspn -l Failed to bind to DC of domain novell, Access is denied

Sharepoint is is trying to list the spn for a user and it fails using setspn -l DOMAINMAME\USER
It only fils on the netbios name and works with the dns name
 
example netbios:
setspn -l novell\admin
Failed to bind to DC of domain NOVELL, error 0x5/5 -> Access is denied.
 
example dns:
setspn -l novell.com\admin
Registered ServicePrincipalNames for cn=admin,dc=novell,dc=com:

Looking at a LDAP trace the difference between the two commands is the netbios name has a . to the end of the domain name in the search filter.
