Well, it looks like you've specified 
"\TerminalServices/Active Sessions"
instead of 
"\\TerminalServices\\Active Sessions" 
                    ^
in your config-File. The pathnames for the perf-counters only use
backslashes. Error 0xC0000BC0 translates into 
"Unable to parse the counter path. Check the format and syntax
of the specified path." (See jwapdhmsg.pas from the NSClient
distribution)
