I will be shooting in the dark cuz I dont really know how that call handles
Authentication, however I have couple of questions:
1) I am assuming you did create a network name resource and a physical disk
resource that the share resource is dependent on.
2) This network name is different than the cluster name. Correct?

If the answers to question 1 and 2 is yes; I would like you to plz enable
kerb on the network name of the clustered share (this might be the key).
