I also think you guys might be on to something. The only difference between the 2 shares is that the ServerFiles share has a 'veto' option in it to hide these files. Maybe my understanding of veto is wrong, I always thought that it hid the files not disallowed them to be created. I will try again monday by commenting out the veto directive and see if that is the problem. I will post my results to the list about what I find. Thanks a lot!
