PC opening as "Read-Only"

I'm not sure if this is the best area to post to, but all DBs are hosted on FMP Server 5.5v2 on OS X...

Here's the problem... I've got a set of 4 databases, one is set to multi-user, the other 3 are set to "Multi-user Hidden" I've got an iMac running OS 9.2 (FMP-Unlimited 5.0), and a Win2K PC (FMP Unlimited 5.0) that open the one multi-user file from the Server (Mac G4, 867Mhz running OS X 10.1.5 and Serer 5.5v2 as mentioned before). On the iMac everyhting is great, I open the one file (via "Hosts") and a script opens the other three. Everyhting works, I can view, edit, everything.

On the PC however, I open the first "multi-user" file, and the script opens the other three, but as the other three are opening I get a message like this:

"This file is being opened as "Read-Only" it is write protected. you will not be able to make changes"

And when I view "Sharing" info on them it tells me that they are "single user" files...

Any Ideas??

Are there any other copies of the databases on the PC (or a network file share!) that it might be opening instead of the FMP Server hosted files?
