[Samba] Roaming Profiles won't save

Hello! I am migrating an old Red Hat Samba 3.0.9 server to a new Debian Etch 
Samba 3.0.23d with an OpenLDAP backend. I've got almost everything working 
with the new server except the roaming profiles. When a user logs off, 
Windows complains that the permissions are not correct and the profile can't 
be saved. 

I would LOVE to get rid of roaming profiles but that isn't an option here.

I have read Samba-3 By Example, Second Edition and followed the roaming 
profiles example, but it still gives the errors. 

One thing to note is the profiles live on the old Samba server and are being 
mounted on the new server with NFS.

This is a small sample from the samba logs:

I will gladly provide any other conf files and logs if they are asked for.

Thank you for your help!
