Yes, but not that way. I simply have

    log file = /var/log/samba/by-workstation/log.%m
    log level = 10

If I check the "Administrative Events", the detail reads:

    Windows could not load your roaming profile and is attempting to
    log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not
    be copied to the server when you log off. Windows could not load
    your profile because a server copy of the profile folder already
    exists that does not have the correct security.  Either the current
    user or the Administrators group must be the owner of the folder.

every time I log in.  (Hand-transcribed from the MS-Win laptop.)

That's what caused me to notice the "OK but maybe not ok" messages in
Samba's logfile.
