Did you create the file share resources through cluster administrator? See
the following KB for the procedure to setup fileshares in a cluster:

Hi There,
I am running a Windows Server 2003 2 node cluster. Recently we had the
active node, node1 become unresponsive to Remote Desktop, the console was
unresponsive, backups were hanging at the Pre-Processing stage and we
could
not push an install of Symantec AV 10.0.2 to it. It continued to share out
it's resources however. Also I could not connect to Cluster Administrator
from either node. We rebooted both the nodes but had to hard boot the
active
node. :( Anyway everything seemed to come back up properly, node 1 was
responsive and I could connect to cluster administrator and all was well.
Node 2 is now the active node. However if I failover a group to node1 it
comes accross no problem, brings all resourses in the group online on
Node1
but the File Shares disappear when viewed across the LAN from a client
machine. The resources on Node2 are still visible. There are no errors in
the
event logs. Everything appears normal in Cluster Administrator. If I fail
the
group back they reappear again. I have disconnected Node1 from the storage
and run a chkdsk on the c: drive but got no errors or fixes reported. I
have
evicted Node1 from the cluster, rebooted it and brought it back in with no
errors but the problem remains. The only thing I can think of is to
completely rebuild Node1.
Anybody any ideas before I start this?
Thanks in advance,
Graham.
