Thanks Shawn... I think (hope) I've got it covered now. I did not go the route of RMTSHARE because I will control access via NTFS.. In my opinion the SHARE permissions are there mainly for Win9x systems that can not control file and folder permissions. 
Thank you everyone for the help with getting this working.
Below are the steps I needed to perform to accomplish this task
(hopefully, only minor testing, real deal this friday night)
OPERATIONS to consolidate and move Users from Multiple NT 4.0 Servers
to a single Windows 2000 SAN
code:
STEP 1
:: Restore all user folders under USERS on 2 different volumes via Backup Exec
:: VOL1 = users A-M
:: VOL2 = users N-ZSTEP 2
:: Create share points for directories by Kyder
:: Must be run from the Server it is being used on
:: Does not change any SHARE permissions - It inherits the Everyone Full
:: Folder and File access will be controlled by NTFS permissions.
for /f "Tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /B D:\users') do NET SHARE %%i$=D:\users\%%i /Y
for /f "Tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /B E:\users') do NET SHARE %%i$=E:\users\%%i /Y
STEP 3
:: Change NTFS file permissions based upon directory name by Ron Lewis - July 17, 2001
:: (meaning user names and directory names for Home Directories must match)
:: Can be run from any NT Workstation remotely. Must have Domain Admin Rights.
:: XCACLS allows some special folder permissions that CACLS does not, but this was
:: not a big consideration for our usage.
:: NOTE! XCACLS is broken and CACLS was broken but CACLS was fixed in Windows 2000 SP2, so far XCACLS is not fixed
:: Cacls.exe Orders ACEs Incorrectly When Granting Rights
:: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q268/5/46.asp?
:: Current Permissions from USERS has (Domain Admins and SYSTEM) directories below USERS inherit these permissions.
for /f "Tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /B \\sm-cag-fp03\VOL1\users') do ECHO Y| cacls \\sm-cag-fp03\VOL1\users\%%i /T /E /C /G WDI\%%i:C
for /f "Tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /B \\sm-cag-fp03\VOL2\users') do ECHO Y| cacls \\sm-cag-fp03\VOL2\users\%%i /T /E /C /G WDI\%%i:C
STEP 4
:: User Manager Home Directory update by Ron Lewis - July 17, 2001
:: You must run this batch file from a BDC to update the User Manager settings.
for /f "Tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /B \\sm-cag-fp03\vol1\users') do NET USER %%i /homedir:\\sm-cag-fp03\%%i$
for /f "Tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /B \\sm-cag-fp03\vol2\users') do NET USER %%i /homedir:\\sm-cag-fp03\%%i$
Does anyone see anything obvious that I may be missing here? Aside from the Outlook Personal Folders that will probably break. Not sure I have time to tackle that one yet, but may have to when we move the other 2,800 users. Can't be visiting that many desktops.
