@johnywhite...I'm CV in Photoshop, and I was about to wipe this out...however, I will take a shot at this...
as dearsina has mentioned you can write to your designated scratch drive, and that Remote access via LAN will put a burden on overall performance.
With that said...the proper way of working with Photoshop is to do it on the local workstation that has the software. That would equate to the BEST performance.
When the project PSD is completed, you could easily upload/copy/move the file to the server in a shared non-volatile folder without giving admin permissions to the server location.
However, if you are considering sub-user access of a power user, then you need to provide NTFS permissions (full control, read, write, and modify) to the Photoshop CS folder and to the Local temp folder in Documents & Settings, this is associated to the user account that you create either locally on the workstation or on the W2k3 server.
Since we're somewhat over due on this question...please respond back for further assistance, or closure of this question.
Thank you,
Irwin

I'm thinking it could have something to do with which drives you have allocated as scratch disks. You can change the scratch disk preference from the File -> Prefrences -> Scratch Disks (I'm going by memory so I might be wrong) menu.
Photoshop uses HDD space as temporary memory only when the RAM runs out, but checks if they're there and accessable as soon as you open the programme.

ps. Photoshop through RDP is not fun at all, even on a fast LAN.
