[Samba] Template Home Dir Question

Yeah, I'm kinda wimping here, but it's Friday.

In smb.conf I have this line:

template homedir = /usr/templates/%D/%U
template shell = /bin/ssh

This samba server is a PDC.  /usr/templates is o:g:w:rwx and acls are 
set u:m:g:o:rwx.  When I attempt to log in on a freshly domain joined XP 
client I receive the error message:

Windows cannot locate the server copy of your roaming profile and is 
attempting to logon to a local copy.

I assume that the roaming profile is not being auto created.  Is there 
something else I need to do in order to have that initial login generate 
the profile in /usr/templates/%D/%U?  Do I need a login script?  The 
samba guide while very clear and informative, does not seem to cover 
this.  If it does, just point me to chapter and verse.

Thanks in advance,

TMS III
