Roving profiles on Samba 2.0.6

I was using Samba 2.0.4 and I've upgraded to 2.0.6.  I'm running on
FreeBSD 3.3.  Since I've upgraded, roaming profiles seem to be the
default, and it's causing me some grief.  I'm not ready to introduce them,
and what happens is that when a user logs onto a machine with office 97,
the office 97 policies get stored in their home directories.  That's okay
until they log onto a machine with office 2000 (which I haven't
implemented a policy for) and they cannot run the office 2000 application.

I've tried commenting out the "logon path =" but when I log on I still get
all the Application Data directories and the USER.DAT file.  The USER.DAT
file is the one that's stuffing things up for me.

Can anyone tell me how to disable this behaviour?

Below is my smb.conf file
