2.0.2 upgrade woes

I am running 2.0.0b5.  Rock solid, no problems.  This afternoon I took
the plunge and installed 2.0.2 - domain logons quit working.  I messed
around a bit, could not get it to work.  Did a good bit of cleaning up
to get rid of 1.9 samba stuff that was still around - no joy.  Could not
get it to work, so I did a make revert - back to 2.0.0b5; domain logons
work again (thanks for the revert - it's great!!)

Problem solved except for one user (me).  I can't log on.  Here's what
happens:

I log on to the domain as usual.  My desktop does not come up; only the
default icons appear.  None of my drives are mounted.  I try to mount a
drive; it mounts, but I get a message that the profile could not be
updated.  No matter what I do, I can't get my profile to update on the
server.

This is reproducible across machines, so it has something to do with the
server profile. I copied a good, known profile over the assumed bad one
and it made no difference.

I am assuming that there's registry entries that I need to clean up.
Any advice at all would be welcome; I can also provide log files of the
entire mess if desired.

TIA,

Yan
