Joseph,

I would first delete both the suspicious Beta folders from My
Network Places. Then navigate to them through the workgroup and
try again.

If you fear to lose data by mistakenly deleting the data, rather
than the network folder reference, you can make a backup copy of
the data first and, for the other computer, pull the network
cable temporarily.
