If I remove "!" it works ok. If I try that filter with dsquery:

dsquery * domainroot -filter "(&(objectCategory=Person)
(objectClass=User)(!company=mycompany))

dsquery is being lenient here. For the filter to be cirrect the test  
you are trying to ! must also be inside ()'s

  "(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(!(company=mycompany)))"
