samba - Jun 2003 - Roving Profile Issues

Hi Again,
 
I figured out what my problem was with the encrypted passwords - it's
sufficient to say that it was an error on my part, not the software.  Oops.
 
However, now I'm completely baffled.  I can login to the domain perfectly
(encryption is on, by the way), my home drive maps correctly, the login script
runs as it is supposed to, but I'm getting an error about my remote profile.
Specifically, Windows 2000 tells me that "Windows cannot create profile
directory //servername/profile/username.pdt" and that it will use a local
profile that will not be updated to the server at log off.  I cannot for the
life of me figure this one out.  I believe that I've changed permissions
correctly as well as group ownership of the profile directory.  Perhaps I've
configured smb.conf incorrectly.  I'm really not sure what the problem is
here.  Below is my smb.conf file - hopefully that will help determine the error.
 

[global]
  workgroup = mytest
  netbios name = CNS-11438
  security = user
  encrypt passwords = yes
  wins support = yes
  os level = 64
  preferred master = yes
  domain master = yes
  local master = yes
  security = user
  domain logons = yes
  logon path = \\cns-11438\profile\%u
  logon drive = f:
  logon home = \\cns-11438\%U
  logon script = logon.cmd
  log file = /var/log/samba/samba.log
  max log size = 0
  log level = 2

[netlogon]
  path = /home/netlogon
  read only = yes
  write list = ntadmin
  guest ok = yes

[profiles]
  path = /home/profile
  read only = no
  create mode = 0600
  directory mode = 0700
;  writeable = yes
;  browseable = no
 ; csc policy = disable
 ; profile acls = yes
 
[homes]
 ; guest ok = yes
  read only = no
  valid users = %S
  create mode = 0600
  directory mode = 0700

[public]
  path = /tmp
  guest ok = yes
  writeable = yes

So, your share is called "profiles" and your path is:

	logon path = \\cns-11438\profile\%u

Notice the "profile" withou the "s".
