Two PCs sharing OL 2002 pst interfere with each other for Rules

J

On a home LAN, 2 PCs both using Win XP Home Edition &
Outlook 2002, latest SP. Only one user at a time opens
Outlook. I wrote a rule to move messages arriving
through "(e-mail address removed)" to a folder "user2". Rule works
fine on one PC or the other, but I have to re-check
the "Apply Rules in the following order:" and re-enter
the "specified folder" whenever I move from one machine
to the other.

The PST is shared by mapping it's location on the primary
machine to a network drive on the secondary machine.
Mail delivery & all folders are available as intended,
but whichever PC was set to run the ruke last takes away
the run setting from the other machne. Since rules are
stored in the PST itself, what is preventing the sharing
of identical folder names? I tried mapping the folder to
a drive "o:" on both machines, so that the location is
defined as o:\outlook.pst on both machines, but it didn't
help.
