Can't use pst file after moving it to 2003 server

Hi

I am trying to move the directory containing all of our archive pst files to another machine which is running 2003 server.

It is currently on a 2000 server and the files can be opened with clients using any version of outlook and any OS.

The pst file permissions inherit those of the directory it is moved to so I changed them so each user has full access but when they try to open the file from the new server using Outlook they get: access denied you may not have sufficient privileges to open this file or the disk may be full.

The permissions work because the user can copy/paste/move delete the file.

Is there a difference in the way 2003 server writes to the disk that Outlook can't understand if it was originally written to Windows 2000?

Thanks for any help you can offer

BTW I moved all of these files as administrator rather than visit each user to do it
