samba - Dec 2003 - logon path question

This link:

http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html#LOGONPATH

States that:

"Windows clients can sometimes maintain a connection to the [homes] share, 
even though there is no user logged in. Therefore, it is vital that the logon 
path does not include a reference to the homes share (i.e. setting this 
parameter to \%N\%U\profile_path will cause problems)."

I am still having trouble with my roaming profiles.  In my smb.conf I have:
logon path = \\%L\%U\profile
logon home = \\%L\%U\profile

and

[netlogon]
path = /etc/samba/netlogon
read only = yes
admin users = root
write list = @sysgrp

[profiles]
path = %H/profile
read only = no
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700

Which means I am putting my roaming profiles in the users home dir.  Could I 
be experiencing the issues described in the link above?  Is that bit 
basically saying don't store profiles in home dirs?

Cheers
Jeff

yes because the user can delete their profile from their home directory.
A suggestion would be to create a profiles directory in /home to store
all the users profiles.

[profiles]
 path = /home/profiles/%U     # where each profile is named the same as the
user.
 read only = no
 create mask = 0600
 directory mask = 0700
