Mapped Network Drive in ME

I have a 40 GB Snap Server and have 15 machines that all map a drive letter to the file server. Machines range from 95 to XP Pro. All have been working fine, but one user with ME saved a file to a directory on the Snap and it was not visible to other users, regardless of OS. From the ME machine I attached the saved file to an email and emailed it to a 98 user and saved it to the same location, now it was visible to all users. I saved a file from an XP machine and it was not visible to the ME machine but was visible to a 98 machine.

I circumvented the problem by remapping the drive on the ME machine from //snap/share/folder to //snap/share. (in 98 you are forced to do the latter, but XP doesn't care how deep you map) I am not sure why this made the difference, but more importantly - how in the world was this working??

I don't have any more ME machines and hopefully this one will be formatted before too long, but if this has been happening all along, where are those files stored??
