Try this first:
samba-tool user delete xlinuxd
The recreate it but with:
--home-directory="\\mydomain\Users\xlinuxd"

When that doesn't work, try this too:
I think you'll need to set the permissions.
wbinfo -i xlinuxd
then
chown uidNumber:gidNumber /home/Users/xlinuxd
chmod 755 /home/Users/xlinuxd

In windows, it'll then appear as H:\
