Samba documentation covers this very clearly. A reference to the
documentation would probably be better than the above advice.

see Samba 3 Official HowTo

FWIW - I see neither a [homes] or [profiles] share in your setup and I
didn't see mention of the fact that you have 'joined' the Windows
computers to the domains.
