[Samba] Problem with Windows 7 and roaming profiles

Hi Alex,

thanks for your fast reply.

Here the rights.
The profiles directory:
drwxrwxrwx 6  777 root 4096 2010-02-22 16:14 profiles

A profile:
drwx------ 15 andre.drei primgroup 4096 2010-02-19 11:12 andre.drei.V2

Space should be enough:
/dev/md3              454G   32G  400G   8% /store

The file system is ext3.

Good to hear that it can work :-)!
