Drive will not mount as junction on Server 2003

OK, I have a volume on a dynamic disk that has a drive letter, but I am trying to get it to mount to a folder on another drive. I have done this before on this same server and it worked fine. When I do it now via "Disk Managment" I get the error:

"The path cannot be used for creating a drive path likely because the folder does not exist or is already a drive path to some other volume"

The folder is not used in another junction. I have tried creating a new folder and mounting it there, same error. I have tried mounting a different volume, same error. Yes the destination and source drives are NTFS. Yes I have admisitrator rights. I have even tried reformatting the source drive. I have no idea what is wrong.

I was able to find a KB article that mentioned the error, but it did not help: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883100

Server 2003 Standard x86 SP2

I was able to get it working by using the "mountvol" command. Details available here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/205524
