Different file access behavior from smb connections

We have a shared drive on a win2000 server with personal folders for each of our domain users. Anyone who logs through a windows platform, sees the mapped drive normally and can access their own folder. They can see other folders (we have allowed all authenticated users to view folders at the share folder root because of a problem we had with offline folders), but they cannot see what is in the ther users folders and receive the standard "no access allowed" message. This is what we wanted

The problem.... Users who are using Mac OS 10.3 and log in via smb to the same shared folder are allowed to see the contents of all folders! They cannot actually open any files, but they can drill down through all the folders they want to. The same user who logs in via a windows platform, cannot access any folders but their own. Why do smb connections allow more access?

Thanks in advance for any help in solving this problem
