That's weird - was the message 'Test message claiuils gli via lila livid kli gle liar glu herlg threat tilrat likai glis glaid trolit tilrat tilrl glai illi ski sugar tiaraii kidsu' ? because if so then the message is 7 bit packed as per the GSM PDU specifications, including UDH. AFAIK the SMPP driver does not pack or unpack data in such a way, and IIRC no provider that we use is sending messages in such a way. 
AFAIK, the only drivers that actually pack and unpack 7 bit packed PDUs are the AT* drivers.

Do you know which SMSC you are connecting to (manufacturer) ?
