such trick is called "folder redirection", it is said by Microsoft that it 
can be only done with AD policies, but it can be easily tweaked by

1) either editing registry (keys are described in Samba-Official-Howto and
Samba-Guide)

2) or applying nt4 style domain policies (adm template is supplied with 
samba sources)
