[Casper] Imaging Issues with new Intel Mac Books

[Weber, Jason]

The share seems to show up normally.. And once it¹s launched I can open the
share and any folders within.  I¹ve had no troubles in the past, but there
must be something with these new machines that is slightly different.

Our server is also running 10.5.2.  I¹m not sure if this is a server issue
or at the machine level..
