Old user, old computer, new combination yields no rights

I've got a small existing domain based on an SBS computer. There
are 2 client machines running Win XP that see most of the use on this
domain. (Well call them A and B.) One of my users has exclusively
used machine A for several years now. This week I had her log in on
machine B to get her set up, since A will soon be retired. Machine B
is newer than A, but still nearly a year old and has been on the
domain the entire time.

She has no problem logging in on B, but once there, she appears to
have no permissions, even to her own desktop and My Documents folder.
For example, if she right-clicks the desktop and selects "New > Text
Document" she gets an error dialog reading "Unable to create the file
New Text Document.txt. Access is denied."

She's set up with normal Domain User permissions (I generally don't
use local permissions) and has no problem on the old machine (A).
Other users on machine B aren't having problems. Am I missing
something obvious in getting her set up on this other machine?

Thanks,
Andy

I assume this is SBS 2000. What happens if you temporarily make her a
member of the local administrators group on workstation B?
