Enable auditing on logon events for success and failure and privilege use
and object access for failure [probably only temporally]. Enable auditing on
that folder for that user. Then look in the security logs and Event Viewer
in general for any possible helpful messages. I would also look in Local
Security Policy on each computer and look for any differences under local
policies for security options or user rights. Any differences found between
the two boxes could be suspect. Also check any deny permissions to the
folder which you user could be affected by group membership. If this is a
domain computer, run the netdiag support tool on it looking for any
pertinent errors. -- Steve

object access enable first.
