doesn't set HOMEPATH environment variable

I'm running samba as a domain master,
Have implemented roaming profiles (correctly I hope). However, have
discovered that if I use the client Windows 2K machine on the domain
"Local machine" the environment variable %HOMEPATH% is set correctly to
\Documents and Settings\myname however if I then login to my domain
implemented by samba %HOMEPATH% is simply not defined. HOMEDRIVE and the
rest seem OK, it's just HOMEPATH.
Now I have searched the archives for related questions but nothing
really applicable has come up therefore its going to be something wrong
with my configuration (either server or client) but I really am stuck to
what it could be.
Thanks
Derek
