problem saving roaming profile

I encountered the same problem here. I experimented a bit with the
smb.conf file and found out that the permissions were set correctly
when i turned off the "nt acl support".
Then i read some posts in this mailinglist where ppl talk about
enabling ACL-support in their linux kernels. As i have an unpatched
kernel and NO such ACL-support in it, i wonder if it has something to
do with my problem.

To be specific:
The missing rights on the user-profiles are some execute-bits for the
user i.e. some directories that are being created when the user logs
off the first time will just have unix permissions "0600" instead of
"0700" (even when using the "force directory mode 0700" option).
I repeat, only SOME directories are treated like this, not all!

...a directory listing of my user-profile follows (german):

drw-------   4 slop     users          86 Apr 30 16:16 Anwendungsdaten
drwx------   2 slop     users          35 Apr 30 16:16 Cookies

You notice the directories "Recent", "Favoriten" and "Cookies" which
have actually correct permissions set. All the other directories got
messed up.

Does anyone have any idea what to do?
