I like this idea.
But one question:
is it possible for the OpenBSD box to access all these "hidden"
partitions through SMB as one large storage space possibly with some
kind of error protection?
This sound like it might be more of a Samba question... But I'll ask
here anyways.
thanks

It is possible to not only deny permissions to a drive, but also to
completely hide the drive from the user interface. Hiding drives from
the interface can be done through group policies (either local policies
or via Active Directory). Take a look at Microsoft Knowledge Base
article Q231289: "Using Group Policy Objects to hide specified drives
in My Computer for Windows 2000".
Since Windows administration is quite off-topic, if you need further
help please e-mail me off list. I haven't hidden drives from users
before, but i work with someone who administers Windows and does this
so it would be easy for me to ask more questions on how it is done.
