XP and roaming profiles

I've managed to join an WinXP machine to our Samba-2.2.2 domain.  I've setup
our Samba config so the profiles are stored centrally,  rather than in home
dirs for NT and W2K.  But when I logout of a domain user it splats files all
over the users top level home directory.

Here are the appropriate bits from our smb.conf file:

[global]
....
  logon path = \\%N\profile\%U
  logon drive = q:

[profile]
  path = /home/samba/%a/profile
  writeable = yes

So in NT it stores the profiles in /home/samba/WinNT/profile/<username> and in
W2K in /home/samba/Win2K/profile/<username>
I've create a directory /home/samba/WinXP/profile/ and made it work writable,
but nothing is ever stored in here.
