The preexec script actually creates a netlogon.bat file for each user
when they log in and sets the file ownership to that of the user logging
in.  So the batch file is being created by the Linux server.  Since I
can execute the bat files manually via a command line on an XP host,
wouldn't that mean that the file is ok?

I commented everything you mentioned out and changed the file
permissions, still not playing fair.
