I figured it out!
Permissions weren't the problem at all. We are using a cluster for data
redundancy. This cluster has an alias assoiciated to it so that if we need
to bring a different server online as the primary, we can do so without
having to redirect everyones shortcuts and drive mappings.
Apparently startup scripts either don't like the alias, or are not going to
to dns to correctly determine the correct location that the alias is
pointing to.
I'm going to have to code my scripts with variables so that if the server
gets failed over to a different one, we can get the scrips back running with
just one modification.
Thanks for all your inputs.
