It's OK to put the .pst files in a user share, just remember that performance across the network is slower than to local hard disk. If you leave the .pst file in the desktop profile then the whole profile has to be copied across the network into a local profile cache, that can be VERY slow also. Here the greater slowdown is the time taken to log onto and off the network. I prefer to put the .pst files in a user share (the user's home directory is a good place). Check out the new Samba-3 HOWTO chapter on policies and the one on profiles to find how to redirect your .pst file to a share.
