[Samba] Switch profile from local to roaming?

I've got a WinXP machine that was configured for local profiles. I have now
joined that machine to the domain, but when I try to log in as a user, it
tries to use a roaming profile. Fine, that's what I want anyway. But it
doesn't do the smart thing and copy the user's local profile to roaming -- it
gives an error instead. OK, no problem, I will change the type. I log in as
local admin and go to her profile. It only gives me Local as an option.
Maybe it's because I'm not logged into the domain. OK, I log into the domain
as Administrator (alias root -- uid of 0). It doesn't even let me SEE her
profile then. Because it is local, I assume. So ok, I add
MYDOMAIN\Administrator as a local administrator on her machine. It lets me
see her profile now but I still can't change it to roaming. And every time I
try to copy it into either Administrator's directory on the server, or hers,
it gives me Permission Denied.
So what is the real way to get this accomplished?
Thanks,
Misty
