[Samba] Roaming Profiles won't save

Hello! I am migrating an old Red Hat Samba 3.0.9 server to a new Debian Etch
Samba 3.0.23d with an OpenLDAP backend. I've got almost everything working
with the new server except the roaming profiles. When a user logs off,
Windows complains that the permissions are not correct and the profile can't
be saved.

I would LOVE to get rid of roaming profiles but that isn't an option here.

I have read Samba-3 By Example, Second Edition and followed the roaming
profiles example, but it still gives the errors.

One thing to note is the profiles live on the old Samba server and are being
mounted on the new server with NFS.

This is a small sample from the samba logs:

[2007/01/12 10:27:25, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(352)
jmartin opened file jmartin/Desktop/prf11A.tmp read=Yes write=No (numopen=6)
[2007/01/12 10:27:25, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(352)
jmartin opened file jmartin/Desktop/prf11B.tmp read=Yes write=No (numopen=7)
[2007/01/12 10:27:25, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(344)
jmartin closed file jmartin/Desktop/prf11A.tmp (numopen=6)
[2007/01/12 10:27:25, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(344)
jmartin closed file jmartin/Desktop/prf11B.tmp (numopen=5)
[2007/01/12 10:27:25, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(352)
jmartin opened file jmartin/Desktop/prf11A.tmp read=Yes write=Yes
(numopen=6)
[2007/01/12 10:27:25, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(352)
jmartin opened file jmartin/Desktop/prf11B.tmp read=Yes write=Yes
(numopen=7)
[2007/01/12 10:27:37, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(344)
jmartin closed file jmartin/Desktop/prf119.tmp (numopen=6)

I will gladly provide any other conf files and logs if they are asked for.

Thank you for your help!

This is a tricky thing. You will have some strange permissions issues to
deal with if you are tying to access the profiles from a mounted share.
Why not just copy the profiles to the new PDC?
In the mean time, can you send a copy of the command used to create the
mount?
