Thanks for the responses so far.
The users are logging in locally to these workstations and this phenomena only occurs for the user that was logged in when the outage happened. Every other account on the machine is able to log in (there is more than 2 local accounts on each machine).
Some users do mount a share when they log in, but all shares are accessible (and were accessible when the machines in question were powered back up).
Unfortunately, I don’t have a useful copy of the local.nidump to study but I do have a spare MAC with the same configuration as the others to use as a guinea pig. I’ll report back anything useful that I discover from that log (or from syslog).
I’m also tempted to have authentication go through our OS X server rather than locally logging in (or at least store user home directories elsewhere).
Again, thanks for your help. I hope to uncover the source of this problem because it’s possible someone else will suffer from it.
