This is just a quick guess, but do you have your client machines
synchronize their time with the Samba server (or whatever time server
that you may have available)?  I've never had this type of problem so I
may be totally wrong, but I saw someone mention on this list (a fairly
long time ago) that if the time is not properly synchronized, it may
cause a problem when downloading/uploading profiles. This is because
Windows relies on this to determine whether or not to update the local
profile data.

Just a thought.
