So I take it the encryption level on the TS server is set to High and you're using a certificate, or is it just the security level is set to High ?

Which RDP version the server is running? I know there was a recent update by MSFT for RDP connections, but I don't know if this fixes the problem or not. Also, what version of rdpdesktop are you running?
