Roaming profile problems.

[Andrew Perrin - Demography]

Tom, I'm thinking maybe your problem is that NT does this (irritating)
thing where it tries to write in the parent directory of the path of the
profiles, e.g., \\%L\Profiles\%U\.. or \\%L\Profiles\ as well as in the
real path.  That's why we have our profiles hidden a level down.  Since
your perms are set 700, writing to that directory would fail for everyone
other than root.  Maybe try:

logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U\%U

and create two levels down of directories for users.  I know it sounds
crazy, but hey... it's Microsoft :).  That's my understanding of the
behavior, you may find more detailed info in the samba-ntdom archives.
