[Samba] Winbind seems to have hosed my roaming profiles

Winbind seems to have broke my roaming profiles. I have a 3.0.1Pre1 DC
on RH AS 3.0 running with Win2000 SP4 clients logging in. Remote
profiles worked well and then I added:
winbind separator = +
idmap uid = 10000-20000
winbind gid = 10000-20000
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
template homedir = /home/win2000/%D/%U
template shell = /bin/bash
Added it to nsswitch.conf and started winbindd
The next time I logged in on a client, I got the message that it
couldn't create my profile on the DC. I remove the existing profile
from /home/profiles/<username> expecting it would recreate it but got
the same message. As soon as I commented out the above entries
everything went back to normal. I'd heard that winbind usually makes
things better. What's happening here??? Should I have made my samba
and Linux users AFTER adding winbind? I'm still not sure winbine is
applicable in my situation because I have NO other real MS Domain
Controllers. Please advise...
Thanks
