[Samba] Odd random roaming profile issues

[tms3 at tms3.com]

When windows login fails, often windows gives a path error.  My 
suspicion is that some rougue data with incompatible perms has gotten 
into the local users profile.  I've seen it happen, but I'll be damned 
if I can remember the cause.
