Drive namings...

On this topic, maybe someone can explain a behavior to me. I've read the
docs and I can't find a sensible explanation for it.
I set up a [HOMES] section, each user has a home directory, and in the logon
script I have:
NET USE U: /HOME
I'm almost sure this worked during testing so that my home directory
(/home/ken) got mapped to U:
What's happening, however, is that the [PROFILES] share is being mapped to
U:. I've had to add specific commands to make sure the home directory is
mapped to U, and now the command "NET USE P: /HOME" maps to [PROFILES].
Is this the way it's supposed to behave?
It's Samba 2.0.3 on Redhat 5.2.
