Further supplementary:

I now have a test machine set up, with pretty much the defualt Mandrake config (see below). My WinXP SP2 PC joins the TEST domain happily, and has no profiles for this domain on it yet.

I can authenticate fine as a normal user, but I cannot do anything sane related to profiles. I just get "Cannot locate server copy of roaming profile" followed by "Access Denied" and a temporary profile. If I have a "Default User" profile under the netlogon share, this gets loaded into the temporary profile, which is something I guess, but not really very useful in terms of saving settings on exit.

Does ANYONE have roaming profiles working under Samba 3.0.10, preferably on Mandrake Linux with WinXP SP2 clients? I'm tearing my hair out here! How can I find out what the "Access Denied" error is referring to?

"TEST" PDC config follows:
