I’ve had that alot where a reboot of either the xserve or client fixed it, for me it was DNS timing. My centralized DNS takes a big hit at times, have you tried enabling DNS on the xserve and doing a cache? It settled the problem for me with remote sites on T1s not getting the response times necessary.

Auto generated home folders is easy to setup on the AD side, I find it bizarre it is going to an invisible share though. It sounds like the admin has set the permissions wrong on the share point and the user is getting a folder created but isn’t the owner. Is that a possibility? As this is now AD bound, I do something sililar for PC users in all my OUs where they get aMy Documents moved to the SAN and their actual storage is mapped to a drive letter however if a Mac logs in and is bound with SMB, they get the Home folder in the same spece and the entire folder appears within their Home Folder. If you’re Authenticating through the Xserve and AD both, with a Kerbros ticket running on the xserve, it could cause strange behavior. The Invalid argument would be the password being encrypted then going to AD, it would appear to be an encrypted, encrypted password and authentication on AD would fail.
