Hi,

Try adding:

nt acl support = no

to your [profiles] share definition. Another hint would be:

"Are the domain accounts you're using members of the local group "users" on 
your win2k/XP workstation???"

This is a typical "my profiles are not working" mistake, especially when the 
system is not able to create .pds files on the server ;o)

Cheers
