Could this be related to the difference between "Janice" and "janice"?

Create a test account "Janice" and see if she can access that.

Alternatively, see if she can log in by manually mounting the drive and
providing the name and password explicitly.

This is just a wild guess by the way, I've no idea whether it should be
a problem.
