Here is the setup. We run (2) Exchange 2003 servers and are trying to
publish a form to the organizational forms library to make it available
to all. We created the form and when attempting to publish we get the
Mapi error "The form cannot be installed because you do not have
permissions"

Three of us have tried it, all with admin rights and I have checked to
make sure we have rights on the server. I am confused about what I
should see on the server side though.

When I go to Eforms Registry should I see a folder under it that says
Organizational Forms? Some posts I read make me think I should se that
actual folder. What I do see is the form we created by right clicking
on the Eforms registry and that is what I am checking permissions on.

Hope that makes sense. If I am supposed to see "organizational forms"
what did we miss?

Thanks

Yes, you should see a folder for each language for which you've created an Organizational Forms library. Did anyone create it yet? Did you check your permissions on it? See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formpub.htm

The folder structure is

Folders - Public Folders - EFORMS REGISTRY and then the folders we
created and named. These are the folders we can't see listed in
Organizational forms in Outlook that we are trying to publish to. We
have owner rights to the folder we created

Thank you.

It's not clear whether you're looking in Outlook or Exchange System Manager. ESM is where you need to create and set permissions on the Org Forms library.

I aplogize, we are in teh ESM and have created a library there and have
set permissions to owner for our admin group but still can't publish
the form to that library. In fact, when we choose publish as in
outlook and browse to OFL we don't see anything listed there, not even
the one we created.

I don't know what you're expecting to see. Since you have not published any forms yet, the Organizational Forms library will be empty.

When you created the Organizational Forms library, did you choose the correct language, i.e. the one your clients are using? You did create it with System Folders displayed, right?

Please tell us exactly what permissions are present on the Client Permissions dialog for your Org Forms library.
