I sniped the best parts, and added comment.

Correct that only dan when you first login with the user and then logoff.

//DC/PROFILES/%USERNAME% is created when you klik on the OK knop in windows tool.

It looks like you swapped these 2 paths. 

The user folder rights are bit different then the profiles folder. 

But you have to little info to be more precise. 

If you share the user folder. Example : 

/home/DOMAIN/users/Userfolders. 

In this path. /home/DOMAIN/users/Userfolders 

Share the users folder like 

\\DC\users\%username  and Now this folder wil be automatic created through RSAT. 

IF you assigned uid/gid ( samba AD backend ) first assign the UID/GID THEN set the user homedir.

Wrong order can give the problem off not creating the user folders. 

And for the profiles setup like this. 

/home/DOMAIN/profiles/Userfolders. 

And share like 

\\dc\profiles\%username% 

Once this is correct set, now choose. 

Windows profiles acl or (l(unix) posix acl. 

Setup exact like this :

and it works. 

Check it, if it doesnt work post the needed info. 

And recheck your homedir folders
