It may be that KDE is doing "but I want to access $HOME _all_ the time" and the fileserver then mobbing out that client after trying many times without permission. > Everyone here uses tcsh.

It would probably make your life easier if you had that down to $HOME and then give your users a $HOME/Private/ and a $HOME/Public/.
