Default Cannot Save Documents to Home Drive

It seems that Word has a permissions problem with the way the users Home
Drives are mapped.

The problem I am getting is that I cannot set the Documents file location
(ToolsOptionsFile Locations) to the user's Home Folder. I get an error
saying "You do not have access to the folder \\Severname\Share$. See your
administrator for access to this folder"

The full path of the home folder is \\Servername\Share$\HomeFolder. This is
mapped to H: and the user can successfully browse and create/save files here.
However if you try and save a document via Word it will not let you.

The permissions for the users are set as follows:
Share$ - Share permissions - Full Control; NTFS permissions - None
HomeFolder - NTSF permissions - Full Control

It seems that Word needs NTFS permissions to the Share folder, however I am
reluctant to do this as it will propagate down to all user folders and I
don't want to block inheritance either as it will cause other problems.

We are running MS Word 2002 SP-2, Windows XP Pro SP-1 and the Home Folder
is on Windows 2000 Server SP-4

I have done a search and found a lot of other people with the same problem
but no solutions.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.
