finder resets path on client when connected to server

[lesta670]

I’m having a big time troubleshooting this. I have a couple a mac clients connecting to a Mac OS X serveur 10.6.2. Most clients are running 10.5.8 and some 10.6.2, me included. Now some users both with SL and Leopard have the following issue. When they connect to the server, navigate to a folder, the finder resets the window to there computer or home folder depending what’s in there prefs. This is really annoying since if you navigate to some place on the server to copy something, it resets before you can do it! One user even has this happen when in a dialog box (like save or open) mainly from Indesign. She is running 10.6.2, a machine I just setup from the ground up. The server is also newly installed and running 10.6.2 but I also had the problem with 10.5.8 server. I also redid the whole permission on the server when I migrated from the old server to the new, redid every user. I didn’t copy preferences from finder or any other system files besides colorsync profiles and prefs for Adobe CS4 so I don’t think those are responsible. If there are capital letters, they switch back and forth between caps and lower case every second. That’s what happens when I have the folder in the side bar.

Anybody as seen this? Please Help! This is driving me crazy! It is on the apple discussion too, but maybe you have more info on this here.
