If you look directly on the computer named //LUKE and the folder that is
shared as 'apps' - it would appear that a typical user doesn't have
write access. Windows 2000 Server (and Windows 2003 server also) have a
nice tool built-in to test user privileges...right click on a folder and
choose Properties => Security => Advanced => User then you can locate a
user and see his privileges on that folder.

is //luke/apps mounted on /mnt/M by root? If so, then a user wouldn't
have write access

how are ltsp users authenticated? By local /etc/passwd entry? by
winbindd from Windows Server?
