Have you actually tried -

[homedir]
        comment = Home Directory
        path = %D%U
	valid users = @postgrads

I think it will do what you want.  The path expands to the value of %D%U
and the user doesn't have anyway around that.  Therefore @postgrads
would be the only one's with access to %D%U but %D%U expands
specifically to the user's DOMAINlogin.  They won't have access to
anyone else's shares unless they do so by some other means.
