samba - Nov 2003 - Wierd Roaming Profile Error

System Spec: -
    OS -     RH9
    SMB -  2.2.7a
===================Error: -
I have been using my samba PDC for a few months now, without
errors for my winXP machines.
I recently had a visitor with a 2k laptop who needed access to various
server. I created a user account and bound the 2k machine to the samba PDC
(all good so far, didn't do a reghack)
The user logged in and was able to access the relevant servers.

The problem came when the user logged out. Windows came back with an
error: -

"Windows cannot copy file C:\Documents and
Settings\testuser\Templates\sndrec.wav to
location \\server\Profile\testuser\Templates\sndrec.wav Contact your network
Administrator"

This is where it gets weird. Although it gave the error that it couldn't
write the files,
on inspection of the user's Profile directory on the server, the files are
there???

I have searched through 10,046 mails I have archived on my machine, but have
been unable to
find anyone else with a similar error.

Anyone have any clues???

I have a Redhat 7.3 server running Samba-3.0.0 installed from the
binary RPM's.  It's acting as a PDC with Roaming profiles.  I'm not
certain if what I'm seeing is actually an error or not, but perhaps
someone can shed a little light on what exactly it is that I'm seeing
here.
	I have a WinXP Pro machine that I will log into with  my domain
username and password.  My roaming profile will be downloaded from the
Samba PDC just fine.  If I log out, my profile will be updated on the
PDC.  So far so good.  However, if I immediately turn around and log
back in (as either myself OR another user), I get an error that my
profile could not be found on the server with the Detail of "The
specified network name is no longer available".  After poking and
prodding both machines, I discovered WHAT is happening, but not why.
	Immediately after logging off of the WinXP box, if I do a smbstatus on
the Samba server, I see a couple of connections:

Service      pid     machine       Connected at
-------------------------------------------------------
profiles     21892   xpbox          Tue Nov 11 14:16:50 2003
IPC$         21892   xpbox         Tue Nov 11 14:15:55 2003
xpuser       21892   xpbox         Tue Nov 11 14:15:57 2003

If I attempt to log in while these entries are hanging around, I
get the error.  If I wait about 40 to 60 seconds, and check smbstatus
again, I'll see that the xpuser and profiles entries have dropped off. 
If I attempt to log in at THIS point, everything is fine...

Is this just normal operating procedure for Samba?  Some sort of syncing
up time for the profiles?
