1. Security and share permissions - You should use a file copy application or tool that will save security permissions and share permissions. One tool is the robocopy (Robust File Copy) tool found in Server 2008 or Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools.

2. IP Issues - DNS name is one thing you have already accounted for, but make sure none of your client machines use the actual IP address to connect to the shares.
