Question : Windows Server 2003 file permissions.  Unable to create the file. Access is denied

I have a WIndows 2003 r2 server that is run as a print and file server.  I am testing a managed services product called Hounddog.  They require that I share their program folder entitled "Advanced Monitoring Agent" and to give Everyone read permissions, to it which I have done and called the share "Hounddog" with no spaces.  Then under the Advanced Monitoring Agent folder is another folder called "Scans" which Hounddog has asked me to grant Authenticated Users with Modify and Write permissions (I also added my own domain account and gave it full control).  This is done so that when workstation users install the hounddog monitoring agent via the share, an xml file is created under this folder and the hounddog dashboard reads the changes and updates itself to show the new workstation.  To test this funcitionality, Houddog support asked me to create a .txt file under the "Scans" folder from the workstation that I am adding to be monitored.  It should allow me to create the text file but I get the error message "unable to create the file "New Text Document.txt". access is denied."  Hounddog said this was not a usual occurance obviously and that something is wrong on my side.  I have tested the file creation from 2 different XP SP3 workstations with my domain account and even with the domain admin account.  Both unsuccessfully.  I can of course create a txt file under the folder if I am on the server itself.  I also created a Test share folder seperate from the Hounddog program folder with the same level of permissions on each folder, with the same unsuccessful results.   I have logged in and logged out of the workstation and rebooted the computer.  I also rebooted the server.  Why am I not able to create a file under a share if I seemingly have the correct security permissions set?

Check the permissions on the share portion. These are separate from the NTFS permissions. Shares are created with the everyone group having read access only.
