samba - Jun 2011 - Home Directory Issue

I hope all is well with everyone.  I've got sometime a little strange going
on.

I'm running RHEL 6 and SMB Version 3.5.6-86.el6.  I am using Samba so that
my Windows users can mount a home directory share to their Windows machine, with
my Linux/Samba server and the storage point, and their account is validated
against out campus AD servers.

The issue I am having is that the share fails to connect if the home directory
does not exist.  I can ssh to the box and the home directory is created on the
fly if it does not exist, but not when the samba share is attempting to connect.

It almost seems as if the pam_mkhomedir module is not being called.  Any
suggestions?
