The correct path would be something like \\servername\sharename\%username%.

If using the %username% variable under the domain account properties, didn't
you have to do something like:
net use /h
[or something like that]
for mapping the home directory when using Win9x?

Been a long time. Can't remember...

You will need to map win9x user home drives in login scripts. See
