Kyle,
You might also need to populate this setting:

A) Only allowing local profiles and disabling roaming profiles:
(start->run->gpedit.msc->Local Computer Policy->Computer
Configuration->Administratrive Templates->System->User Profiles

As a result, each user gets a profile created in C:\Documents and
Settings\username
