samba - Nov 2005 - problem with login script not running as one user

Okay, have a small office running Samba on MDK 10.1 and XP workstations:

    samba-server-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk
    samba-client-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk
    samba-vscan-clamav-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk
    samba-common-3.0.10-0.1.101mdk

Using tbdsam as our backend. I recently added a new user, however this user 
does not run the regular login script for some reason

    net use h: \\FILESERVER\homes /YES
    net use p: \\FILESERVER\public /YES
    net use z: \\FILESERVER\archive /YES

The only drive being mapped is the home directory and it's being mapped as 
Z:, none of the other drives are being mapped.

I've checked the samba logs for both the server and workstation in question,
also event logs on the workstation itself and don't see anything obvious 
relating to this problem. 

We are using roaming profiles for all users and logging in as several other 
users on this machine has the proper drive mappings from the login script.

I've checked user and group ownership on the various files and all seems as 
expected.

It's just this one user that is problematic. Googling hasn't turned up 
anything useful so far.

Suggestions?

Do you have a "valid users=" entry on the shares in question?  If so,
is
the problem user a member of that group? That one caught me recently.  I 
forgot to add the user to the group that could see that share.

On the netlogon share? No, that has guest access which is required so all 
users can access the share, as to the other shares, the new user is a member 
of the "office" group which all the users are members of to get access
to
shared resources. Sadly that's not it. :-(

inasmuch as the mounts tend to be persistent, you might not be executing
the logon script by any of the users but think you are.

Why not put a break or something in the logon script so it stays on
screen waiting for input or something so you know that it runs for other
users.

As far as why it might not be running logon script for valid user
possibilities...

- tdb permits different logon script per user. have you verified with
pdbedit?

- computer is properly joined or connected to domain controller and is
providing logon from cache

- logon script created with unix line breaks instead of Windows line
breaks (bad)
