[Samba] Help needed with Windows7 roaming files.

[Gary Dale]

Are you sure it's not a permissions problem? Have the Windows 7 machines 
been properly added to the domain? Are the user accounts enabled?

Sorry, I have no Windows 7 clients to test things on. However, whenever 
I've had similar problems, it's been an account setup problem, not a 
Samba configuration issue.
