Getting rsAccessDenied error for a completely different user?!

When userA is not permitted to view the report server, the following
message would normally appear when userA tries to access
http://localhost/reportserver
Reporting Services Error
----
The permissions granted to user 'domain\userA' are insufficient for
performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied) Get Online Help
----
This is the correct behaviour. Now say userB and userC both have
access to reports. When userB opens the page, it displays the list of
RDLs correctly; when userC opens the page, he gets the above error
message EXACTLY, meaning the report server thinks userC is userA and
displays "The permissions granted to user 'domain\userA' are
insufficient ..."
So userC becomes userA and is denied access to the reports -- how
could this have happened? I've checked the permission of that folder
and IIS settings and there is no mention of special translation of
username or permission settings for either user. Any ideas where else
I should check?I have seen this when two people share a computer and rathering than logging
off and back on the second user unlocks the computer and starts using it.

That doesn't appear to be the cause here, as the issue happens even if
only one user is logged in, and the same issue occurs on several
machines...
