This looks like a bug or configuration issue with tftp:

Do you have the latest version of smeserver-tftp-server installed from the smecontribs repository? Also, is SAIL installed?

[mgb]

 smeserver-thinclient    noarch     2.0-5.el4.sme    smecontribs        18 k

Installed: smeserver-tftp-server.noarch 0:1.0-2.el4.sme
Dependency Installed: tftp-server.i386 0:0.39-3.el4
Complete!

So does it work now? If not, file a bug report against smeserver-tftp-server so the issue can be investigated further.
