For the list archive.

I've done some more tests, but seems to me that (at least for windows 7
client) the method proposed in:

	https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configuring_Windows_Profile_Folder_Redirections

does not work (with error quoted above). I was forced to set:

  + Basic - Redirect everyone's folder to the same location
  + Create a folder for each user under the root path; root path:
\\my_server\Users

In this way, folder redirection works as expected.
