[Samba] netlogon sometimes works (corrected with smb.conf attached)

Could anybody please help? I have tried all sorts and nothing will fix the
problem permamently.
I have a samba PDC which on occasion happily logs a user on and processes
the NETLOGON share. However, it doesn't always run this service.
I have placed preexec commands in both the profiles and netlogon shares,
only the profiles preexec is executed.
Reboots don't make any difference, only determed logout / logins will
eventually get the netlogon share executed.
I have included the full smb.conf file, samba is now running 2.2.7a, each
upgrade results in the same problem.
We have two domains, one controlled by an old NT PDC (this is to be
retired) and one by a new samba PDC (to be the main PDC for all machines,
once they are migrated). I have noticed that trying to join the samba
domain over a VPN is impossible, whereas joining the NT domain, works
first time. I don't know if this last bit is relevant to the problem or
not.
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
"testparm"
# to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors.

# workgroup = PDC1
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = Nomad PDC (Samba %v)
#JOW server string = Samba Server 2.2.6
# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
hosts allow = 192.168.2. 192.168.1. 127.0.0.1
# Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to
/etc/passwd
# otherwise the user "nobody" is used
; guest account = pcguest
# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects

# default is only to log critical messages

# security_level.txt for details.

# Using the following line enables you to customise your
configuration
# on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios

# of the machine that is connecting.
# Note: Consider carefully the location in the configuration file

# this line. The included file is read at that point.

# Most people will find that this option gives better performance.
# See speed.txt and the manual pages for details
# You may want to add the following on a Linux system:
# SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
; socket options = TCP_NODELAY
# Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces
# If you have multiple network interfaces and want to limit smbd
will
# use, list the ones desired here. Otherwise smbd & nmbd will
bind to all
# active interfaces on the system. See the man page for details.

## Network Browsing
##
# set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a
master
# browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules
apply
local master = yes
# OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master
browser
# elections. The default value (20) should be reasonable
os level = 99
# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser.
This
# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use
this
# if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this
job
domain master = yes
# Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election
on startup
# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election
preferred master = yes
# added by JOW 2002/11/19 to enable us to see riga network

## WINS & Name Resolution
##
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's
WINS Server
wins support = yes
# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS
Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client,
but NOT both
; wins server = w.x.y.z
# WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on
# behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must
be
# at least one WINS Server on the network. The default is NO.
; wins proxy = yes
# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS
names
# via DNS nslookups.

## Passwords & Authentication
##
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 400 -s
/bin/false %u
# Use password server option only with security = server
# The argument list may include:
# password server = My_PDC_Name [My_BDC_Name] [My_Next_BDC_Name]
# or to auto-locate the domain controller/s
; password server = *
; password server = <NT-Server-Name>
# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
# ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba
documentation.
# Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents
encrypt passwords = yes
# Should smbd obey the session and account lines in
/etc/pam.d/samba ?
# only available if --with-pam was used at compile time
; obey pam restrictions = yes
# When using encrypted passwords, Samba can synchronize the local
# UNIX password as well. You will also need the "passwd chat"
parameters
unix password sync = yes
# how should smbd talk to the local system when changing a UNIX
# password? See smb.conf(5) for details
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd -r nis %u
#JOW passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
# define this as a standard, as it bloody moves around!
smb passwd file = /opt/private/smbpasswd
# define how the password is mapped via NIS
# JOW NIS stuff, but doesn't work according to samba bods passwd
chat = Enter*login(NIS)*password:* %n\n \nNew*password:* %n\n
\n*Re-enter*new*password:* %n\n \n*NIS*passwd/attributes*changed*on**
# now define the NIS MASTER method

# end of define the NIS MASTER method
passwd chat debug = no
# This is only available if you compiled Samba to include
--with-pam
# Use PAM for changing the password
; pam password change = yes
##
## Domain Control
##
# JOW added for PDC
admin users = root
# Enable this if you want Samba act as a domain controller.
# make sure you have read the Samba-PDC-HOWTO included in the
documentation
# before enabling this parameter
domain logons = yes
# if you enable domain logons then you may want a per-machine or
# per user logon script
# run a specific logon batch file per workstation (machine)
; logon script = client.bat
#JOW make this based on the group the person is in, most are in
staff or cortex
logon script = %G.bat
# run a specific logon batch file per username

# Where to store roving profiles (only for Win95 and WinNT)
# %L substitutes for this servers netbios name, %U is
username
# You must uncomment the [Profiles] share below

# UNC path specifying the network location of the user's home
directory
# only used when acting as a DC for WinNT/2k/XP. Ignored by Win9x
clients
#JOW put back in when staff.bat is global logon home =
\\%L\%U\windows
# What drive should the "logon home" be mounted at upon login ?
# only used when acting as a DC for WinNT/2k/XP. Ignored by Win9x
clients
#JOW comment out till every one in staff logon drive = U:

## Printing
##
# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
load printers = yes
# you may wish to override the location of the printcap file
; printcap name = /etc/printcap
# on SystemV system setting printcap name to lpstat should allow
# you to automatically obtain a printer list from the SystemV
spool
# system
; printcap name = lpstat
# It should not be necessary to specify the print system type
unless
# it is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx
; printing = bsd
# Enable this to make Samba 2.2 behavior just like Samba 2.0
# not recommended nuless you are sure of what you are doing
; disable spoolss = yes
# list of users and groups which should be able to remotely manage
# printer drivers installed on the server

## Winbind
