It does work; we are using it here with NT and Win2K clients. If they are 
set as visible, then you should be able to browse the dynamically created 
shares per user. ie: as user "xyz" you should see a share name "xyz" 
listed under your server. 

Here is the homes section from one of our 2.2.8 boxes that works fine 
with net use /home:

[homes]
    comment = Home Directories
    browseable = no
    writable = yes
    available = yes
    public = no
    nt acl support = no

Also in the globals:

template homedir = /home/student/%U
