samba - Nov 2001 - Windows ME Logon scripts

I cannot seem to execute any logon %U.bat scripts.  It see's them because I
get a black box screen and a message 'running logon scripts'.
If the user.bat file does not exist it simply skips this step.  So I know it
sees my bat files.  If I execute it from the windows ME pc after the pc is
booted up it works.  The bat file is as follows:

rem Network logon script
net use h: \\win\homes

It has DOS style carraige returns at the end of each line.  It is chmod 777 and
chown'ed to the user.
It there some specific syntax with WinME logon scripts that I am missing.  I
think I can see: Bad command or file name quickly flicker on my screen.

I tried a batch file of simple:
pause

Which didn't do anything either.

    There is nothing special about ME login scripts. I have Win95, Win98
& WinME all executing login scripts from the samba server and I haven't
had any problems. What version of Samba are you running? I seem to
recall a %u and %U issue in 2.2.0 but I think it was fixed in 2.2.1a and
later.

I've tried everything.  And all I get is: "Bad command or
filename" when it
trys to execute my logon script.
After the machine is up and running I can go to the DOS prompt and run:
\\win\netlogon\scripts\my_uid.bat and the script runs fine.
Why can't windows ME execute any of my logon scripts?
Where can I look for error logs?
