I know what you mean. Turns out, I've forgotten too much about SBS2000.
I've even built up a SBS2000 server to see what the default install looks
like because so much on this server is not default. There is only 1
partition, 500 gig. I know but that's what it is. The clientapps5 directory
was not in the default path. When I got this error, I created the default
path and shared it out and rebooted but that didn't help. I remember that
some older OS had trouble when a large hard drive was presented to them but I
think that was fixed by 2000 SP4.
Any help here?

Yeah but just think... Steve actually 'remembered' it involved the ClientApps5 folder!
I've forgotten more about SBS 2000 than I ever knew. ;-)

You are the king. I even looked for that but couldn't find it. I did
recreate the proper share in the proper location so y'all won't think I'm a
doofus. However, I did not edit the registry. I'll try that tonight while
the customer is sleeping. thanks again.
