My top level: /var/lib/samba/profiles is owned by root, group = root.
Permissions are: 0770

My profile directory as user jht:
drwxr-xr-x  16 jht  Domain Users 552 2004-07-19 14:08 jht/

The Windows and unix group "Domain Users" is mapped as follows:

frodo:~ # net groupmap list
Domain Admins (S-1-5-21-726309263-4128913605-1168186429-512) -> Domain Admins
Domain Users (S-1-5-21-726309263-4128913605-1168186429-513) -> Domain Users
Domain Guests (S-1-5-21-726309263-4128913605-1168186429-514) -> Domain Guests
Print Operators (S-1-5-21-726309263-4128913605-1168186429-550) -> Print 
Operators
Backup Operators (S-1-5-21-726309263-4128913605-1168186429-551) -> Backup 
Operators
Replicator (S-1-5-21-726309263-4128913605-1168186429-552) -> Replicator
Domain Computers (S-1-5-21-726309263-4128913605-1168186429-553) -> Domain 
Computers


I hope that helps.

My profile share definition is:

[profiles]
        comment = Profile Share
        path = /var/lib/samba/profiles
        read only = No
        profile acls = Yes
