Win2k problem with saving profiles

add to your [profiles] section two force commands

force create mode 660 (makes it r/w for the user and everyone in his
group)
force user "username"
force group "groupname"
(one should be enough, but oh well)

and if you create new directories
directory mask 770 (rwx for user and his group)

in case you are not familiar with the masks in *nix:

4 is read, 2 is write, 1 is execute. add them up to combine them. First
is the user, second is the group, third is all the other guys in the
world.

For directories: if x is set, then you can enter the dir. If r is set,
you can read the directory contents (just for reading files, this is not
essential). If w is set, you can create new files. For reading / writing
to existing files for which you know the name, you only need an x for
the dir.
