You change the domain and ONLY fix the unix permissions and you expect
this to work? Dream on :)
If you need a hand, I will try to help you, I have to do this on 1800
users a few days a go, but is to long to write if you don't need it.

Hello,
In my effort to make the switchover as smooth as possible, I am
thinking that I could copy a user's roaming profile off their
workstation to the profile share on the Samba 3.x server, set the
permissions and then take the workstation off the old domain, put it
on the new domain and then login with the user and just like that, be
done with it.
Is this going to be problematic or is there something I could be
missing that will cause this to backfire on me?
I gave it a go.
...and found out that it just won't fly. I reset all the
permissions on the files to match the permissions of the newly created
profile for the test account I created. (Save that the profile was set
to be owned by the actual user.)
I fired up their login on the domain, at the workstation and it
seemed to load up fine, except Microsoft Outlooked decided that it had
never been installed in that user account before, which it shouldn't
have done as the users NT profile should have been downloaded to the
workstation from the server's copy.
Anyway, I had to delete the whole user profile and create it
through the a "fresh" login and then "trick" MS Outlook into using the
right files AFTER it did it's install.
