[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
