FileShareProvider delivery extension credential encoding

I receive the following error when I try to provide a username and password
to the FileShareProvider delivery extension through the data-driven
subscription query:
ReportingServicesService!dbpolling!5d8!07/14/2004-17:20:23::

It seems that the extension is trying to decode the username and password
from the query, but can't since they aren't encoded. If I hard-code the
username and password values in the subscription itself, everything works
fine.
I tried to use
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.DataProtection.DBProtectData to
encode the username and password before storing them in the database, but am
getting the following error:
System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type
System.Security.Permissions.StrongNameIdentityPermission, mscorlib,
Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
failed..
What do I need to do to make the extension happy?
JayIt's a know issue, the user name and password are not supported by the file
share delivery extension, can you make them not data driven - i.e. constant?
