Craig!
Thanks all for your help so far.
I went ahead and tried some crazy workarounds which were successful on my end. The procedure is as follows
1)it totally does /not/ matter if the users are member of the "Domain Users" group at all
2)I addedd a real user call it 'test', than add it as a samba user
3)Logged in as XP Admin and copied one of my problematic user's profile as the
'test' user's profile
4)blew away the problematic user's profile from the /home/samba/samba-netprof directory
5)logged in as the 'test' samba user to make sure all my settings, including
start-->run history and 100% everything else was there... and it was :)
6)logged off, and
a)cd /home/samba/samba-netprof
b)mv 'test' 'matt' <<---one of my problematic users
c)usermod -u NEWUID matt
d)chown -R matt. matt (note that there's a dot . after the first matt)
7)logged as XP admin again and blew away matt's profile
8)logged in as matt and voila...all was there :)
9)blew away matt's profile onto every other XP box that was joined onto the domain
Hope this will help anyone with a weird ass problem like mine
This was originated from my actually migrating off a Redhat-->Debian
and did not come to play untill i formated my XP desktops

Yup. sid shows as S-1-5-21-2890933770-3660815257-1026551046
and Start => System => Advanced => User Profiles
shows the users as Roaming

What is output of 'net getlocalsid' ?
is it S-1-5-21-2890933770-3660815257-1026551046 ?
if you check on the Windows system where roaming profiles aren't
working...
Start => System => Advanced => User Profiles => do they show as roaming?
