Automount xsan on OSX Server 10.4.8

Question

Greetings,
I'm planning to put up a server based network were all of my client should login thru my OSX Server 10.4.8 using the open directory. Is it possible that can I limit the access of my client to my xsan or xserve raid to mount and even the quota.
And also how can I mount a specific shared folder automatically as soon as the client login.
Hope you could help me
Thanks
Im using
SERVER:
-MAC G5 dual 2.5
-OSX Server 10.4.8
-XSAN w/ XSERVE RAID thru FIBER OPTIC card
CLIENT
-MAC G5 dual 2.5
-OSX 10.4.8
-XSAN thru FIBER OPTIC CARD

It sounds like it could have to do with UID from AFP clients sharing the same hidden folder (.Temporaryfiles/.User501 "something" - don't remember the excact name) on the "root" of the server share(s).
Office will create this folder but it really should have a unique UID for each user so the server can separate who is "editing" what (temporary)file.
This can happen if "all" clients are setup with the local UID 501.
To get around this we have been changing the users local user account UID with a couple of Terminal "tricks" by "gatorparrots":

Changing UIDs in the terminal is a simple NetInfo property overwrite:
sudo niutil -createprop . /users/userName uid XXX
(replace userName as appropriate and XXX with the new UID number)
Finding and changing UIDs across the filesystem is a one-liner command:
sudo find / -user UID -exec chown userName {} \;
(replace UID with the old UID number and userName with the new user name to associate file ownership.)
On the local machines we've used the account UIDs from the server (WGM).
