Problem with very simple NFS mount on Windows 2008

Hi folks -- this is very confusing, and hopefully someone can share some light....


I have a couple volumes on my NetApp that I export very simply:

vol/files -sec=sys,rw,root=10.10.0.0/16

vol/files1 -sec=sys,rw,root=10.10.0.0/16

etc

All these have the same default QTREE (unix) value.  All can be mounted just fine on Linux systems.

However on a Windows 2008 server in my environment, I can only write to *one* of the volumes, even though they appear identical to me in every way on the Filer!

Here's my mount command on the Windows command line (10.10.20.170 is the ip of the filer)

C:> mount -o mtype=soft \\10.10.20.170\vol\files X:  < ----   works just fine

C:> mount -o mtype=soft \\10.10.20.170\vol\files1 Y:  <---- mounts, but cannot write!

So odd!  Thanks
