Mockito mock calling real method implementation when attempting to stub package protected method

I'm trying to stub a method using Mockito 1.8.5, but doing so calls the real method implementation (with "" as parm values) which throws an exception.

package background.internal; //located in trunk/tests/java/background/internal

public class MoveStepTest {

    @Test
    public void testMoveUpdate() {
        final String returnValue = "value";
        final FileAttachmentContainer file = mock(FileAttachmentContainer.class);
        doReturn(returnValue).when(file).moveAttachment(anyString(), anyString(), anyString());
        //this also fails
        //when(file.moveAttachment(anyString(), anyString(), anyString())).thenReturn(returnValue);

        final AttachmentMoveStep move = new AttachmentMoveStep(file);
        final Action moveResult = move.advance(1, mock(Context.class));
        assertEquals(Action.done, moveResult);
    }
}

The method I'm trying to mock looks like this. There are no final method or classes.

package background.internal; //located in trunk/src/background/internal


   public class FileAttachmentContainer {
        String moveAttachment(final String arg1, final String arg2, final String arg3) 
                throws CustomException {
            ...
        }

        String getPersistedValue(final Context context) {
           ...     
        }
    }

And the class I'm passing the mock looks like this:

package background.internal; //located in trunk/src/background/internal
public class AttachmentMoveStep {

    private final FileAttachmentContainer file;

    public AttachmentMoveStep(final FileAttachmentContainer file) {
        this.file = file;        
    }

    public Action advance(final double acceleration, final Context context) {
        try {
            final String attachmentValue = this.file.getPersistedValue(context);
            final String entryId = this.file.moveAttachment(attachmentValue, "attachment", context.getUserName());

            //do some other stuff with entryId
        } catch (CustomException e) {
            e.log(context);
        }    
        return Action.done;
    }
}

What is causing the real implementation to be invoked and how can I prevent it?
