IMAPFolder.doCommand() com.sun.mail.iap.BadCommandException

Question

I'm attempting to run "SEARCH ALL" on my INBOX using IMAPFolder.doCommand(). I'm using the api documentation at http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/com/sun/mail/imap/IMAPFolder.html#doCommand as a starting point, I was able to run the IMAP NOOP example in the api documentation without any errors. But when I try to run 'SEARCH ALL'
                    folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
                    IMAPFolder f = (IMAPFolder) folder;
                    Object val = f.doCommand(new IMAPFolder.ProtocolCommand() {
                        public Object doCommand(IMAPProtocol p)
                                throws ProtocolException {
                            // Issue command
                            Argument args = new Argument();
                            args.writeString("ALL");
                            Response[] r = p.command("SEARCH ", args);
                            Response response = r[r.length - 1];
                            // Grab response
                            if (response.isOK()) { // command successful
                                for (int i = 0, len = r.length; i < len; i++) {
                                    if (!(r[i] instanceof IMAPResponse)) {
                                        continue;
                                    IMAPResponse ir = (IMAPResponse) r;
if (ir.keyEquals("SEARCH")) {
String num;
while ((num = ir.readAtomString()) != null) {
System.out.print(num + " ");
p.notifyResponseHandlers(r);
p.handleResult(response);
return null; //just a test, don't need a return value
I get the errorjavax.mail.MessagingException: A10 BAD Invalid Search criteria;
nested exception is:
     com.sun.mail.iap.BadCommandException: A10 BAD Invalid Search criteria
     com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPFolder.doCommand(IMAPFolder.java:2571)
     quota.db.QuotaDB.dumpFolder(QuotaDB.java:288)
     quota.db.QuotaDB.getMailboxInfo(QuotaDB.java:206)
     quota.db.QuotaDB.getQuotaInfo(QuotaDB.java:110)
     quota.actions.GetFolderInfoAction.execute(GetFolderInfoAction.java:74)
Looking through my mailserver's logs does not provide any clues as to the cause of this error.  Any advice?
