Joel,
I would suggest that you double check your cluster configuration.
My feeling is that you cannot have your disk(s) D:\ configured as
private to the physical node(s) and also have directories on them
defined to belong to the cluster.
Are you by any chance using the (Compaq/HP) Virtual Replicator? If YES
then this is not a Networker supported cluster configuration.
