Parallels Shared Folders Hanging

Bit poster
When I attempt to open files stored on the Mac in my Windows applications, the application will hang for 15-20 seconds before opening the file. To quickly summarize the exact problem:

* Parallels maps Z:\ to \\psf\Home
* Any time a file is opened via \\psf\Home the application hangs for 15-20 seconds. (Files are always opened via this path when I double-click them in Finder.) I can reproduce the problem by closing the file and re-opening it via the application's recent documents menu.
* The same file can be opened from within Windows via the Z:\ network drive and the problem never occurs.
* If I browse \\psf\Home using Windows Explorer, I get a 15-20 second hang.
* If I browse the Z:\ network drive, Windows Explorer never hangs.

My configuration:
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Windows XP SP3 with latest updates
Parallels Build 6.0.11992

Other pertinent info:
* Disabling/re-enabling all Sharing options in my virtual machine configuration had no effect.
* Disabling Windows and Mac OS X firewalls had no effect.
* I do have a 127.0.0.1 .psf entry in my Windows hosts file.
* Uninstalling and reinstalling Parallels Tools had no effect.

Please help!

Thanks,
Bryan
