Well I figured it out. Turns out I was just selecting the AFP share under
the "home" tab. This works on the PDC, but when your home directory is on a
member server you need to specify the Home directory location under the
"Windows" tab.
My login scripts were fine and if anyone wants to map home directories with
95 and 98 clients "net use h: /home" is the way to go.
