Hmm, don't know if there is a way in NT to restrict access to HKLM
registry entries, but it certainly sounds like the second user doesn't see
these entries...  This might not matter, but is either of them a domain

I meant the 'mount' the output of which you posted to the list.  It would
be interesting to see the output of 'mount' run by the second user as
well.
