I have done that but only once. My users are all NOT local admins or
power users - they are pretty much unprivileged beyond the local Users.
Either way (or even switching to and from local Administrator group)
caused no problem with loading the profile.

On the samba server(s) - my privileges are different for the homes and
profiles directories.

my users homes are in...
drwxr-xr-x   40 root     root         4096 Sep  8 10:50 users
and a sample users directory...
drwx------   19 craig    users-all     4096 Aug 29 17:31 craig

whereas the profiles...

drwxrwsr-x   21 Administrator Domain Users     4096 Sep  9 08:53
profiles
and a sample profile directory
drwxr-xr-x   13 test     Domain Users     4096 Jan 26  2004 test

This has not been a problem for me.
