[Samba] Roaming Profiles under LDAP backend

[Chris Lawder]

Thank you, that did what I wanted...

I guess that since I am using ldap for the posixAccount/shadowAccount 
part of samba authentication as well that %u (current Unix username) 
isn't found on the machine but %U (Requested client username) works as 
it is being passed with the request.

Cheers :)
