XP Sync security issue

I am using a windows XP pro laptop in workgroup mode to connect to a windows
2003 domain. On the laptop I have two accounts "Account_A" And "Account_B"
No user switching is enabled.
On the server I have the same two accounts with the same respective
passwords as the laptop. The server has two shares: "share_for_A" and
"share_for_B".
User "Account_A' is the only one allowed to get to "share_for_A" and
"Account_B" is the only one allowed to get to "share_for_B". Simple. OK.
When I login to the laptop as "Account_A" and sync the contents of
"share_for_A"
everything goes fine. When I login as "Account_B" to the laptop then I can
access the contents of "share_for_A" on the server but NOT "share_for_B".
When I disable sync and reboot on the laptop security access goes back to
what should be expected.
Any Ideas?? Clues? Fixes? I paid Microsoft for this one but they have not
solved it in 2 months. This appears to be a major security problem.

Cheers

Andrew
 
What credentials are you using to connect to these shares? I supposed I
should've asked this questions first, but why not join the XPPro box to the
2K3 domain? That is really the big question.
