Yep, the return code is the same.  But the problem is that the provider 
returns CIM_ERR_FAILED as the return code, which is the generic return 
code.  So the test is checking the error description to verify that the 
test failed for the expected reason.

There was some talk awhile back about adding provider specific return 
codes in addition to the standard CIM ones.  If we move that way in the 
future, it'll allow us to check just the error codes in the tests.
