Okay, thanks for the tip. I'll try this later today, when I get a chance.
If I understand properly,
I should add
profile acls = yes
to smb.conf so that the profiles section looks like:
[Profiles]
path = /home/samba/profiles
browseable = No
writeable = yes
profile acls = yes
Then for security on the XP machines, disable "bypass traverse
checking" on each client.

Am I missing anything?
