Hi ChiFly
Did you rename the shares? If so that doesnt impact upon anything - the shares on all other accounts, and in fact on any new shares you do, will stay with the original name you use. Thats because anybody who is in a share is able to rename it and move it themselves within their own account.
They will have the folders with correct data and permissions assigned, however, it will probably have the old names on them.
With that in mind if you want everybody to have newly named folders you need to start from scratch with setting up (literally creating a new folder) and putting all the data in that and sharing that out.
