Good news Zach. I'm off to the office to give it a go myself. Should give a preliminary response by noon PST.We just experimented with this here at work. As administrator we manually deleted the profile of a user at replaced it with a manual copy of another user's profile, and the problem was reproduced exactly. When we subsquently deleted NTUSER.DAT and logged in again, NTUSER.DAT was rebuilt using the default profile and the profile loaded properly. Evidently the SID recorded in NTUSER.DAT has to match the user's sid or it won't load properly.
Cheers,

Now to find out how to repair/rebuild/migrate NTUSER.DAT without losing the user's sid without losing the customizations.
Although this has turned out to not really be a Samba problem, I'll post what I find out since this seems to affect several users on the list.
Thanks Zach

on 3.0.x
Doesn't make any difference: profile acls = yes in "homes" is the same behaviour asin "profiles" as long as profiles are located under homes.
The prob is still the same: user with local adm-rights = complete profile user with User- or Poweruser- rights = reduced profile (background and other settings)
Can you switch the local Rights of your Users from User to Admin and
then go back to User without loss in the profile ?
---- I have done that but only once. My users are all NOT local admins or power users - they are pretty much unprivileged beyond the local Users. Either way (or even switching to and from local Administrator group) caused no problem with loading the profile.
On the samba server(s) - my privileges are different for the homes and profiles directories.
my users homes are in... drwxr-xr-x 40 root root 4096 Sep 8 10:50 users and a sample users directory... drwx------ 19 craig users-all 4096 Aug 29 17:31 craig
whereas the profiles...
drwxrwsr-x 21 Administrator Domain Users 4096 Sep 9 08:53 profiles and a sample profile directory drwxr-xr-x 13 test Domain Users 4096 Jan 26 2004 test
This has not been a problem for me.
