Thank you for your reply Gis.

No, the permissions are correct. These same users are able to access the
same share from other machines and these machines are able to map and access
other shares on the same server. It has now happened on a third machine as
well. I'm still looking at possible causes. Please let me know if you have
any other ideas.
