Xserve mapped folders on XP Clients

If anyone has figured this out, I will be very grateful...

I have an Xserve that we use for file sharing for our
graphic files. We have recently began sharing PDF version
of the artwork on the Xserve to allow PC users to view it
without needing the appropriate software (Illustrator,
Corel, etc). The problem I am having is this:

I can map the Xserve share (//192.168.20.43/jobs) to the
PC's only if I use the admin account on the xserve. If I
try using a different VALID account from the xserve (say
user id tom; pass: tom), it won't be made accessible.
This wouldn't be a major problem if I didn't have to re-
certify the admin account
everytime the computer re-booted.

So I guess I have two questions:

1) Does anyone know how to get xserve shares to function
properly with valid accounts (other than the admin
account) - Yes "Allows Windows logon" is checked in the
xserve user setup.

2) Does anyone know how to get XP to store the admin
credentials so I don't have to log in the user's every
morning (60 computers...gets a little time consuming)?

Thanks for the help in advance.
