There's a million things that could go wrong here but you're probably 
right - it's going to be permissions which will be easier to _diagnose_ 
from the client side but you'll have to _fix_ on the server side.

Without access to a lot more information that isn't suitable for sharing 
on public mailing lists the exact issue is going to be hard for anyone 
without access to the boxes themselves to dig into but have you checked 
the relevant part of the GPO is actually getting applied to the clients 
correctly? What if you gpupdate /force on a client with issues? Should 
give you hints about security descriptors etc if you're lucky.

Good luck, this can be like descending into the seventh circle of hell!
