samba - Oct 2004 - random errors"the local drive name is already in use.This connection has not beenrestored."

I had the same problem with XP.
Modifying the login script to delete the mapping first was the only cure I
found.

and just recently I found Service Pack 2 fixes this in XP!

I don't know how the other OSs might be affected.

I think this is possibly a windows problem, I have had the same error in 
high usage workgroup situations with win2000. There is a relatively 
simple fix, I think if you search MS for the error message it is there.
