samba - Mar 2006 - roaming profiles and quota limits

I have a Samba server where I established disk quotas for each user. When I 
check the free space from Windows its shows correctly the used space, but 
not the total space: I have set 100 MB soft limit, 200 MB hard limit and one 
user has used 150 MB, and it shows "150 MB used / 0 bytes free". When
the
user logs off, Windows complains that it can't store the roaming profile due
to lack of disk space, which is untrue and causes some problems like files 
that the users store and are not there the next day.

I guess Samba gets the total space from the soft quota limit and not from 
the hard quota limit. Is this correct and if so can I change it?

Thanks.

Use the policy editor to manage user quotas.

If the user is over quota, he/she will not be able to log out, and will 
be presented a list of the largest files etc.

Once the profile size is below the size set up in the policy editor, the 
user will be able to log out.
