[wplug] Samba PDC not saving profiles

Howdy,

We have samba running as a PDC on Debian/Sarge. When people login to the
computer, it lets them log into the domain just fine, but it doesn't seem
to be saving their settings. For example say someone opens up powerpoint.
It asks them for their initials. This is what  powerpoint is supposed to do
the first time. Except it does this everytime. Another example is how
things are viewed in the explorer. Say you set your preferences to show
hidden files and hit ok. When I go back to the preferences they are not
saved. 

My smb conf file looks like:
[global]
  security            = user
  workgroup           = MY_DOMAIN
  server string       = Some string
  encrypt passwords   = true
  update encrypted    = Yes
  log file            = /var/log/samba/log.%m
  max log size        = 50
  dns proxy           = No
  hosts allow         = .pg 192.168.0.
  unix password sync  = Yes

  domain logons       = yes
  domain master       = true
  logon path          = \\server\%u\.windows_profile
  logon drive         = H:
  logon home          = \\server\%u\.windows_profile


When I login to the domain on the windows machine I get the following in my
samba logs:

[2004/10/07 15:37:44, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(800)
  troll (192.168.0.188) couldn't find service netlogon

And the .windows_profile directory is created in my home directory. Am I simply
under the wrong impression with respect to the meaning of "roaming profile"?
