[Samba] Problem updating roaming profile

Hi,

I have been trying for the last couple of days to sort out a roaming profile
configuration of Samba. The network is a Linux Samba PDC server (Samba
3.0.6, Kernel 2.0.7 plain) with several Windows XP Pro clients. The
filesystem is ext3 with extended attributes enabled (& acls compiled in, but
I'm not sure if samba is using it).

I am getting an error when logging out of a client that it can't update the
profile because it "Cannot create a file when that file already exists".

How do I sort it out?

Secondly, I've just discovered that some (but not all) of the server's file
shares are responding with the contents of one of the other shares; e.g. if
I look at my "home" share (rivimey) I see the contents of the "tmp" share;
however, if I navigate via the "Users" share to my home share things are
where they should be.


Thanks,

Ruth

P.S. smb.conf config file available on request.
