That is the correct working of roaming profiles. If you want the files 
only on the server, you should look into "Folder redirection". The Samba 
docs contain good info on that.

You can use roaming profiles only, folder redirection only, or a 
combination of both, which I usually consider the more appropriate option.

There's another good web page about this issue (Windows System 
Management: Real Men Don't Click) but it seems unavailable now. I have 
it in my archives and I will send it to your email address as a .mht file.
