GPO -> Software Distribution

[JoHo]

I hope someone can help me out here because this is driving me nuts..!

Current Situation:

HQ:
has 4 DC's of which currently 2 DC's are win2k3 the rest is win2k
XP and win2k clients are working OK and GPO software deployment is
running without problems.

Sitex:
has 1 local DC which is win2k
XP clients are working OK but GPO software deployment is not working.
on the client the eventlog says it's starting up the software
deployment but ends immediately with the error "installation source is
not found"..
Permissions are OK on share and ntfs on the local distribution server
(is win2k). When I run the GPO from this site on a client in HQ it is
working. Viceversa does not work.

I have this situation on 10 more sites...and I'm not getting it...

Nothing weird in the eventlogs of the DC's, replication is working OK.

What am I missing here...?

Hmm...found this as well:

Tried doing the "assigned" packages via msi files. If assigned via
group policy to the computer configuration (hklm) section, it is
supposed to install during the next reboot. Well, it didn't. Event
logged showed "The installation source for this product is not
available." A few things had to happen before it worked, after loads
of research. q278472 was helpful and said to ensure the computer
account had access. Did that, still no help. Drove me up the wall
since it worked from a DC share, but not our main file server share on
a member server. Since another KB article said that this doesn't work
across forests due to kerberos authentication issues, I speculated
that the member server may not have the proper kerberos setup to deal
with this. So on a hunch, I dropped the member server from the domain
and re-added it. What do you know, it worked. Now, however, I wonder
if a simple reboot would have accomplished the same thing. That member
server hadn't been rebooted since the DCes were converted over.

Gonna try this next weekend...reboot doesn't matter...IF it will work
does it make any sence..?
