Try the following: Rename the folder on your server to something other than domestique. Then on each laptop, mount it successfully once and make an alias of it on the laptop. Use the alias as if it were a local folder, instead of using AppleScript to mount the remote folder -- the OS will mount the remote folder automatically for you any time you access the alias. You can name the alias itself domestique if you want to preserve your habits.
As for the access issue, I can't explain that away. I would suspect that using Server would only make it worse, as Server has more of an interest in insulating remote users' files from one another that non-Server would.
