Contents of WinXP Shared Inaccessible to new files

T

I have set up certain drives on a Windows XP workgroup network to fully
shared. However, on certain computers, I have found that only files which
were in the shared folder at the time the share was established are
accessible from the network.

I can see the files in the shared folders, but I can't access them (open or
copy them).

In order to access all files, I have to "unshare" the folder, and then reset
the share.

What can be causing this?

All computers on the network are using WinXP professional SP2.
