Which versions of Windows 7 and Windows XP are you working with?
"Professional" should work, but "Home" may have trouble.  

I found (with samba3-3.4.8-42.el5, anyway) that XP would automatically
map H: to the home drive, but 7 would not; I had to add a line to the
logon script:

  if not exist H: net use H: \\LINUX\HOMES > nul

Your "net time" line will only work for an Administrator.

Remove the "del X" line at the end of your script, and see if you're
getting error messages logged in X when you log in from 7.
