Resource calendars and custom forms in Exchange 2003/Outlook 2003

Many thanks for any ideas, suggestions, or solutions...

Our environment is SBS 2003, Exchange 2003, and Outlook 2003 clients. We
have approx 20 clients. I have adapted the basic appointment form to include
three new tabs with custom form information. (It's really basic custom field
stuff, with a little script for printing a worksheet from the form contents.
I'd be happy to share the form data if it would be helpful...)

When a user adds a new appointment to the calendar with the custom form data
they may also invite resources (mailboxes/calendars with auto-accept rules).
This seems to work fine, and resources are responding with success
notifications or failures appropriately.

Here's the issue: the meeting organizer sees the list of resources, but
other users see no resources scheduled for the event. (The resources are
succesfully booked.) The other users (someone who opens an existing calendar
item for review/modification) see the correct calendar event with the
following exceptions: scheduling and tracking tab shows ONLY the organizer's
name, and any scheduled resources are missing from the list.

One more time with a little detail:
So if Russell creates an item and schedules conference room 1 AND LCD
projector 4 those resources are successfully booked, and subsequent views of
the item from Russell's calendar show the resources in the scheduling and
tracking tabs, and the resources are listed in the "To:" field on the
appointment tab.
When Kurt opens the item for review, the scheduling and tracking tabs show
only "Russell" as the organizer, and the conference room and LCD projector
are not listed.

Again, many thanks!
