samba - Jan 2005 - roaming profiles - filesyncing problem with 3.0.10

Since I upgraded from RedHat 9.0b / Samba 2.2.8 to Samba 3.0.10 I have problems
with the roaming profiles of my students. Although the log-files show no errors
at all, several users reports me that they are loosing files. One time I saw the
problem myself, when a user logged in and had not a single file in her
'Personal Files' after logging out and logging in on the same host the
whole profile was replicated correctly. Even worse: Some files show the content
from a few sessions before.
Searching the web I discovered that some admins on the debian-list experienced
the same problem : http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/01/msg01329.html

Using the rpm for 3.0.10 for RedHat 9.0 the upgrade from 2.2.8 showed no
problems/errors.

Clients:

OS : W2K / SP4(SP3)
Reg-Hack:HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT
\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DeleteRoamingCache = 1 ( already used under 2.2.8 )

So, does anybody experience similar problems with 3.0.10 ?

regards
Josef

but this setting I used already under 2.2.8, so

What group owns the profiles directories? How is that group mapped to Windows 
groups? What is the output of?:

	net groupmap list
