[Samba] VISTA domain login error

Dear List;

I have a small SAMBA domain with both XP and VISTA (Business) clients.   For 
one domain user, logging onto to the domain fails with the following error in 
VISTA " The Group Policy Client failed the Login".   It appears that the 
profiles are downloaded and re-saved on the server during the login but the 
login fails.   This does not effect the same user on XP or a different user 
on the same VISTA machine.  

I think this is actually a VISTA issue and not a SAMBA issue, but I was hoping 
someone had some idea how to correct this behavior.   Renaming the local user 
folder and the profile on the server allows the login with a temporary 
profile which is not saved.   Any suggestions would be appreciated.
