Sean,

Do you have existing connections to the server, when you're trying to do this?
If you need to access additional shares, they have to accept the same
credentials as the existing shares.

What you have is a credential conflict. Do one of the following.
# Disconnect from existing shares.
# Create new shares that DON'T need administrative access (ie no "$" shares).
# Give the existing account administrative rights on the server.

BTW, Sean, posting your email address openly will get you more unwanted email,
than wanted email. Learn to munge your email address properly, to keep yourself
a bit safer when posting to open forums. Protect yourself and the rest of the
internet - read this article.
