Please carefully read 
https://help.oclc.org/Metadata_Services/Z3950_Cataloging/Get_started/Configuration_guide_for_OCLC_Z39.50_Cataloging

It says: "ID authentication: OCLC supports ID/authentication as 
prescribed by the standard. We recognize the userId and password fields; 
the groupId field is ignored. The service patron password is the 
password that must be used."

As Mark Alexander showed in his posting, OCLC complains about "Invalid 
Autho/password".

Thus I assume the Z30.50 service of OCLC is not freely available but you 
will need to obtain a valid userId and password, or use another service.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes: Michael Kuhn
