Wrong, about what below stands 

set /home/samba/profiles 	777
when a user logs out a new profile dir is created
thats why the create mask and directory mask.

the userdir /home/samba/profiles/Username wil get 700
so user dir is secure.

here is my profiles config

[profiles]
        path = /home/samba/profiles
        comment = Profiel omgeving
        read only = no
        create mask = 0600
        directory mask = 0700
        browseable = Yes
        guest ok = Yes
        csc policy = disable
        force user = %U
        valid users = %U @"Domain Admins"
