I had a similar problems yesterday as well, except I had changed where I wanted my profiles stored, as I'm already running a Win2k home network.
What I did was remove the user from the smbpasswd file, and then added him again. So it looked like this: smbpasswd -x me smbpasswd -a me Worked like a charm, as it automatically updated this settings. HTH.
