this works for me...

[Profiles]
        path = /home/samba/profiles
        browseable = no
        guest ok = no
        writeable = yes
        create mask = 600
        directory mask = 700
        profile acls = yes
        csc policy = disable

# ls -ld /home/samba/profiles/
drwxrwx---  6 root dom_users 4096 Aug 22 16:58 /home/samba/profiles/

(make sure that your /home/profiles is set with proper permissions too.
