[Samba] Roaming Profiles Problem

[Gary Dale]

I'm assuming that you've not shown us your full smb.conf. This does make 
it tricky to figure out what you've got however.

In general, I believe that you need to give the world full access to the 
profiles. Also, you haven't got a "profile acls = Yes" line in the part 
of your smb.conf you've shared with us. Despite not defaulting to Yes, 
this seems to be needed.
