Sqoop incremental load using "lastmodified" fails when going against MSSQL

Team,

Not sure if I missed anything here, please feel free to correct me.

I'm on Sqoop version: 1.4.5-cdh5.4.2.

Trying to execute the following Sqoop Job:
sqoop job --create test - import --check-column UpdatedDT --incremental lastmodified --last-value 1900-01-01 --connect 'jdbc:sqlserver://x.x.x.x:1433;databaseName=test' --username user --password password --table "Application.Test" --driver=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver -m 1 --hive-import --hive-table hivedb.Test

Also, I have the sqljdbc4.jar in /usr/lib/sqoop/lib/

And I'm hitting this error.
