Q: Clients no longer have full permissions

Hi all

since moving my old two xsan clients onto new macpros when i log onto the server the san volume appears but the clients account is very restrictive.  I cant even change the backround desktop pattern.. 

I removed and re-added the accounts via the server (xsan admin) and using the same logon details was able to re-mount the volume onto both of the new macs.  The only difference is that everytime you log in its as if its the first time you have connected to the san. All of your settings (dock, apps etc.. ) are lost. 

The OD accounts that have been created are very restricted even though I have not changed anything on the server.  Do i need to remove and re-add in new accounts or is there something i ca=n do within the workgroup manager?
