Well, I took the spur to run the PHP and Apache updates (the Qube is not 
our primary web server, so I've been hanging on to those) last night, and 
the reboots which came with those packages appear to have cleared up the 
problem.

Your discovery that the Qube wasn't "registering" with the network is 
probably the key here; users were able to connect by IP number addressing 
(that is, once they "found" the Qube on the network, they could mount 
shares) but couldn't "find" the Qube if they didn't already "know" where 
it was.

Thanks for everyone's feedback.
