[Samba] Roaming Profiles not updating.

I'm finding our employees' roaming profiles are not being updated.  They were initially created correctly, they copy down onto a new machine, but updates are not put back onto the server.  I've also noticed that smbstatus does not show any open dat files, such as ntuser.dat.  I would have assumed that these files would have been held open while the client was connected.

Employees can sign in, sign out, there are no errors on the Win2K box or the smbd or user samba logs, but changes are lost.  All employees are running Win2K Desktops, Samba 2.2.8a as a PDC running on Gentoo.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
Kev.
