That's probably it. As a follow up, if I make the change to the GPO, will
running Gpupdate on the client update the GPO immediately or does the user
have to logoff on back on?

I saw this behaviour when the domain set GPO specified a screen saver that
was not available on the local computer.
If you have a domain GPO set for win2k with a full path statement in the
GPO, pls be aware that for XP the systemroot is not the same! Ie c:\winnt vs
c:\windows.
Windows expects the screen saver to be in %systemroot%\system32. If it's
anywhere else, you'll have to specify it.
