I just set up a Samba 3 PDC, and my users want to use their local profiles. Unfortunately their XP systems won't allow them to copy their existing profiles - that option grays out for their local accounts. Is there another way to accomplish this?

About profiles, usually, the WinXP would upload the profile if it detect that the server supports it, unless some local policy says to keep the profiles local.

Eric I believe that the tool you need is called moveuser.exe. It is a microsoft tool that is designed to move user accounts from local accounts to domain accounts. I believe that you can find it in microsoft's support tools for W2K3.
