failure copying profiles, using temp profile

Problem:  Upon logging on with a stupid windows machine (2000 and XP), it
complains about not being able to copy a file or directory to a local
location with "DETAIL - Access is denied" at the bottom of the message.
Then the next message says that windows cannot load the profile and is
using a temporary profile. 

Details:
(A) The file or directory in question DOES EXIST with the correct
permissions.
(B) User profiles are on a separate share (dir 0700, file 0600)
(C) Everything works if I delete the user profile and he/she logs in/out
again... but soon screws up when logging in on multiple computers with
different versions of windows, etc.

I have no idea what's going in the log files (debug level 3).  I found a
NT_STATUS_INVALID_LEVEL when it mentions the problem file, then it tries
to load a bunch of dll files and Samba gives a NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE
error.  I'm guessing that these dll files are requested by NTUSER.DAT/INI
and are not on every workstation.  Can I do anything to tell windows to
ignore these errors and continue copying the profile??

This message should really go to a windows mailing list, but Linux people
usually are smarter and know what they're doing...

Thanks in advance!!!!
