Looks like it isn't a permission issue, but a drive mapping
issue.  IIS6 is not logging into the netware server the 
way that Win2K (IIS5) did.  It is authenticating, but not
running the login script.  Thus I end up without any drive
mappings, and PFDSK is pointing to a drive that doesn't exist.
I'm on hold with Microsoft now to see if there is any way around
this "feature".
