Only one user is in use on both machines. In fact I accessed both 
machines using remote desktop logged in as that user. The crontab is 
that same user, etc.

Could you please describe exactly what is a "public" share, what is not 
a public share (I assume that would be a private share) and how does one 
tell the difference? Also, assuming that in the case that works it works 
because it's a public share and in the case that doesn't work it fails 
because it's a private share then how do I go about changing the private 
share to a public share?

Thanks.
