Shadow Copy frustation!!

I set up my 2003 machine as a file server and enabled shadow copy on one of the volumes
on my hard disk. I also installed the shadow copy client, but things aren't working
as they should.....
Let's say I made a file called test.txt with the text "this is test 1", then ran
a shadow copy to save this version. I then changed the file to make the text say
"this is test version 2" and saved it. When I click the properties of the file there
should a "previous versions" tab that lets me revert to the original version of the
file, but it's not there....
Yet if I go into file server management and choose to revert the whole volume to
the previous shadow copy the file will go back to the original version.????
So the shadow copy feature is working, but for whatever odd reason the "previous
versions" tab doesn't show. I have done the installation and tried this on two unrelated
machines with the exact same problem....
Any one ever come across this before? Any advice?
