[X4U] Leopard Client Permissions Problems on Server?

My first question would be:

Are all the clients and the servers carrying the latest software?  
Leopard Client is 10.5.8+ and I would guess Leopard Server is the same.

Have you run permissions repairs and disk checks on both the  
workstations and the servers?
