logging lan file sharing access

[buildmorelines]

I have a Windows LAN file sharing network through "My Network Places".
In my network I have over 60 PCs (~63). They all do distributed
computing work, They return their results by writing to files on a
central computer on the LAN through Windows File Sharing
(SMB/NetBEUI/etc). The central computer runs Windows 2000 and uses
FAT32. Now one of them is writing a file in the wrong place and
therefore is misconfigured. I need to have some kind of logging of
that file going on, or all read/writes on the LAN, so I can figure out
which computer is misconfigured, because I need to manually bring it a
keyboard and mouse and thats alot of work. Basically I want the
information in "Start-Settings-Control Pannel-Administrative
Tools-Computer Managmentt-System Tools-Shared Folders" logged to a
file. So does anyone know how to do it?

Why not turn on auditing and audit the file loaction of the errant
file?

How do I do that? I think I need NTFS to do that, but I use FAT32 (for
recoverability).
