I've been through this exact thing, and it has to do with auth. I'll try to find my modified python server to see what I did to hack around it. Also, newsham did put in a fix for it -- you have to invoke the server a little differently -- more or less turn off any auth
My fixes earlier where on the client side. The current bug is about the server side (srv.py) not playing nicely when it gets an unexpected version (and then later again when its doing auth, I believe).
Fix #1 - change _srvTversion to not error out if the version does not match. It should instead return its own version. Fix #2 - Not sure, but the code in the write() method of AuthFs likely needs to be less restrictive. If someone tweaks this and tests it please let me know the fix. (I dont have v9fs installed anywhere).
