[Samba] roaming profiles odd.

[Jack Mendez]

using samba 3.14a, windows xp sp2 configured with roaming profiles.
the profile seems to download properly but the start menu seems to be
empty of shortcuts.
anything tht requires reading of files seems to be acting strangely
the files exist on the server but somehow they are not read on the
workstation
 all of the /profiles/username directories are configured exactly the same.
drwx------  13 mmyuser  staff     4096 2005-12-01 15:00 agarceau
drwx------  14 guest1    guest1    4096 2005-12-01 17:43 guest1
the /profiles dir has the following permissions.
drwxrwsr-x  17 root root  4096 2005-11-30 11:43 profiles

etc.
not sure what i have wrong here but any ideas would be great.
