[Samba] windows xp cannot find profile share

[Sönke Ruempler]

hi list,

i worked long time with profile dir in homedir, but that gave me file
oplocks.
after creating a profiles share (777), windows xp gives me the error msg at
login:

"The serverbased profile was not loaded. you will be logged in with a local
profile. changes to this profile will not be copied to the server. the
profile was not loaded, because an existing server-based
userprofile-directory copy does not have the right access rules. either the
actual user or the admin group has to be owner of the dir. conact your
administrator." (translated from german :-))

i think, the client would automagically create his profile dir and login?

i can manually create a dir "soenke" in the profiles share over smb with my
client.

whats going wtrong?
