In addition to all the good advice here, verify your "Bypass Traverse Checking" system rights for the user in question. The default should permit access, but if you have removed that right from the user, then you can see the behaviour you are seeing.

I'm hoping NTFS, as a first test, which was to give Domain Users Read access (Share permissions) didn't work for me. Within a minute I had phone calls from people saying they could no longer access their home directory.

Only problem is you got to give at least read access to the top level share ( but not any of the subfolders in the share except for the folder you want they to see, if they don't have read access it doesn't even appear to them) Z Edward E.
