[Samba] Can't get 'root preexec' to run

[Ole Traupe]

Oh, and of course the auto-creation works if you put the path 
\\server\home\user into the "Profiles" tab of the user properties in the 
ADUC console. This is explicitly, what the samba wiki suggests, as it is 
directed to using Windows clients. As soon as you press "Ok", the folder 
is created
