[Samba] Roaming Profile not found - replacement PDC

Howdy everyone:
Forgot to mention:
Samba 2.2.7 (with LDAP, from rpm [not self-compiled])
RedHat Linux 9 as PDC
WinXP client, all patched up
Here's an interesting one:
I have joined a machine to the domain, and I log on. Then, I get a
message to the effect that the user's roaming profile couldn't be
[loaded or found?], and a local profile will be used instead (and
actually this also fails, but is not the point of my question... I don't
think).
Background
==========
I took my previous PDC, and simply copied over all the user files and
directories to the replacement PDC of the same name. I created
same-named users on the new machine (LDAP) and checked that the
directories and files are appropriately owned (they are):
root at trainwreck:/home/samba/profiles-> ls -al
total 4
drwxr-xrwt 7 root root 176 May 9 14:54 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 96 May 9 14:31 ..
drwxr-xrwt 13 administrator Domain Admins 488 May 9 14:42
administrator
drwxr-xrwt 14 chris Domain Admins 512 May 9 14:31 chris
drwxr-xrwt 13 gordonp Domain Admins 488 May 9 14:31 gordonp
drwxr-xrwt 13 margaret Domain Admins 488 May 9 14:31 margaret
drwxr-xrwt 13 root Domain Admins 488 May 9 14:31 root
So, the user-data exists.
Why won't the WinXP client load it? Would there be a conflicting SID
or something in my carried-over NTUSER.DAT file? What should I do to
correct this situation...?
TIA,
-Gord
