System Policy Problems

Hi,
I have been playing around with the Samba PDC stuff over the last
few months and have been generally impressed with the server's
functionallity. The only thing I haven't been able to get working
properly is the policy download from a Samba PDC. Other people on
the list have stated it works for them so I am assuming it 'should'
work for me.
Here is what I have been doing.
1) Use poledit to create the policy (used poledit from the NTWS RKit cdrom)
2) Put the Ntconfig.POL into the [netlogon] share
Somewhere I read that the .POL file must have the exact case the server
is expecting for it to download it. I have tried with the suggested case
(and many others), but the policy just doesn't get loaded when logging
into the Domain. The policy works though if only a local logon occurs.
I know smbd is seeing the file as there are references to it in the log...

set_share_mode: Created share entry for Ntconfig.POL with mode 0x20 pid=3670
Could somebody please point me to the correct documentation on this, or
show me the error of my ways.
Oh, I should mention that I am currently running Samba-2.0.0beta4( about to upgrade
to 2.0.0final, if I can get this working). I was using the CVS code but switched over
as the 2.0.0beta series became available. Do I need to go back to the HEAD branch?
I did want to let the HEAD branch get a little more stable before looking at it again.
Any help will be much appreciated,
Thanks
Darryl
