We had this problem with NT: the profiles from the server are copied 
to the PC during login, copied back during logout and normaly not 
deleted on the PC after that. It's part of the policy to tell NT to 
delete the local cached copies. Create a ntconfig.pol in your 
netlogon share with this policiy and you should be fine.
