For sons-clearcase Tools is a folder under it's local E drive and has
Full Control set for Everybody (that's it - perhaps not that secure but
that's what it is).
For sons-cc Tools is a folder under it's local C drive and has Read &
Execute, List Folder Contents and Read set for Everybody (and that's it).
As for Share Permissions both machines are set to Full Control for
Everybody.
I can try opening up permissions to Full Control for Everybody on
sons-cc but I don't think it will do anything and I don't particularly
like being that open (on either machine).
Another interesting thing is that on sons-clearcase the Owner is ccadmin
(the user in question) whereas on sons-cc the Owner is Administrators.
I've changed sons-cc C:\Tools to match sons-clearcase's settings. We'll
see what happens. Now to devise a way to test this again...

The user is indeed the same and in the same domain. The domain spans the
two sites.
