OSX 10.5 Leopard to Failover Clustered Windows FIle Share Error 6602

failoverclusterfile-sharingmac-osxwindows-server-2008-r2

I have set up a failover-clustered file share on a pair of Windows Server 2008 R2 Machines. This setup is working very well with all of the Windows clients that I know of, as well as with Macs running 10.6 Snow Leopard. However, the Macs on our network that are running 10.5 Leopard are not connecting as they should.

I don't expect that the failover-clustered part of the equation is causing any issues, but I thought that in the off chance that it may be causing issues, to include it here to provide a hint to whoever is willing to help.

When a machine running Leopard attempts to connect, it trys for a bit, then asks for the username and password to connect with (as expected). The username and password are entered (correctly), and almost immediately it comes back with the message A volume failed to mount. The volume "Home" could not be mounted.

When that box is dismissed, it continues to attempt to connect for a short time, then it comes up with this unexpected error:

Error code -6602

A couple of Google searches have not come up with anything (for me) about Error code -6602.

Any ideas what this error may be, and/or how I should go about fixing it?

It looks like this is a bug with 10.5.
