samba - Feb 2013 - Roaming Profile synchronization errors on new samba

I too have been experiencing the same issues with my Samba server and
Windows 8. I am currently running Samba 4.0.3. My Windows 7 client's
profiles are synchronizing, but I am receiving that same error on my
Windows 8 machines. The user has full permissions over their roaming
profile directory, so I'm not too sure what the issue is.

I have opened a bugzilla request at:

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9678

You should also provide some information in there stating that 4.0.3 is 
at not working either with windows 8.

If you look at event viewer in your Windows 8 client, do you have lots 
of errors related to the "Low" folders which are part of the Roaming 
profile?

My current workaround for this is to combine Folder Redirection and 
Roaming profiles on Windows 8. Seems like all the problematic folders 
are redirected if you choose to redirect AppData from group policy and 
the roaming profile allows configurations of programs to stick when 
users change computers.

Yeah, I found that I had error messages very similar to the ones you were
having in the subdirectories of my Windows 8 profile. I added my two cents
to the bug report. I haven't enabled folder redirection, since the files
that aren't getting synced aren't too important (mostly just stored
passwords and such for internet explorer), but I will if the bug doesn't
get taken care of.
