Hi,
youre right i found this too.
The problem is that you have include the misc schema in ldap.
As i tested the script to include the mail options at useradd time this 
failed too.
It seems the attribute wasnt published at populate time, so the samba 
profile wasnt published not ,too ( invoking by usrmgr)


I managed it with a small per script to add mail attributes at useradd 
create time
like this i.e

pico /etc/samba/smbuseradd.pl
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#this script is a small hack to produce a number of ldap values in help
#with the nice IDEALX scripts.
$first=shift(@ARGV);
$execstring1="/opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m -P $first";
system($execstring1);


#$ppath="\'\\\\PDC\\profiles\\";
#$execstring2="/opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-usermod -F $ppath$first\' $first";
#system($execstring2);
#this should the trick to include the smbprofile path without declaring 
it in smb.conf but i doesnt work dont know why

#this makes mail entries for the user at create time
$mail="$first\@robo.intern";
$execstring3="/opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-usermod -M $mail $first";
system($execstring3);
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to press samba manage the smbprofile  problem
i used
logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U
   logon drive = Z:
   logon home = \\%L\%U
   logon script = default.bat

to have defaults  in usmgr

which wasnt my wish cause if  like to use
a bdc with homes/profile the smbprofile parameter should really be in 
ldap to modify it simply when a user profile moves to i.e to another office
it seems the profile data in usrmgr must be added for every user by 
adminmodify to have the profile path in ldap which
may more be a feature than a bug, but this was total different to 
previos releases of the tools.

the smbconf relevant parameters are

passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://127.0.0.1/"
   ldap admin dn = cn=Manager,dc=gundk,dc=intern
   ldap suffix = dc=gundk,dc=intern
   ldap group suffix = ou=Groups
   ldap user suffix = ou=Users
   ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers
   ldap ssl = no
   ldap delete dn = Yes
# add user script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m -P "%u"
add user script = /etc/samba/smbuseradd.pl  "%u"
   delete user script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-userdel -r "%u"; rm -r 
/var/lib/samba/profiles/"%u"; rm -r /home/"%u"
   add machine script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u"
   add group script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-groupadd "%g"
   delete group script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-groupdel "%g"
   add user to group script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -m "%u" "%g"
   delete user from group script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -x 
"%u" "%g"
   set primary group script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-usermod -g "%g" "%u"
   ldap passwd sync = Yes

as you see /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-userdel -r "%u" stopped working for 
me too, for deleting the home dir recursive so i had to add rm -r /home/"%u"

I wonder nobody other has found this behavior too i used

SMBLDAP-TOOLS-0.8.7

to make this clear all idealx scripts worked for me at command line use
as far i studied the idealx faqs the descibed stuff should not happend, 
but the faqs may outdated, per haps someone knows more
i used samba 3.13 / suse 9.2 -64 / win xp srv pack2  prof german
