Hello Bill,

Perhaps have you once upon a time deleted (through the sharing  
preference pane) the share point created by default on that particular  
machine, then recreated it yourself?

If this hypothesis is correct, you could see what happened by executing:

	dscl . read /SharePoints/Public

on the "particular" box, and contrast its output to the one provided by:

	dscl . read '/SharePoints/Bill Cheeseman's Public Folder'

on a "regular" box.

HTH,
Axel
