Thanks. I added the domain but it didn't help.

The servers are not under my responsibility, unfortunately, so I can't  
dictate to the sysadmin to allocate time to look into this. I'll need  
to keep researching this until I can come up with specific parameters  
that should fix the problems.

Do you have anything particular set as far as permissions or ACLs are  
concerned, on the server side? Might give me a clue.
