You should show us enough information for us to re-produce such as 
all content of smb.conf and related settings:

In my lab, profile dir is successfully created. My env is...

- Debian lenny (hostname is "lenny5") + self-compiled Samba 3.5.6
- my smb.conf and shares

[global]
  workgroup = SAMBA
  domain logons = yes
  add machine script = useradd %u
  map to guest = bad user

  logon path = \\lenny5\profiles\%U

[homes]
  writeable = yes
  browseable = no

[profiles]
  path = /var/lib/samba/shares/profiles
  guest ok = yes
  browseable = no
  create mask = 0600
  directory mask = 0700
  writeable = yes

- Created a user:

# useradd -d /var/home/test01 test01
# smbpasswd -a test01
# pdbedit -v test01
...
Profile Path:         \\lenny5\profiles\test01
...


- When I logon as test01 from Windows XP workstation which is already
  joined to the "SAMBA" domain and logoff, profiles are created like:

# ls -lR /var/lib/samba
