sufficient - temporary profile

Good evening dear users and developers,

I'm using samba 3.5.6 on Debian Squeeze as Domain-Controller
for several Windows XP clients. Config below.

One user installed a software with settings in C:\documents
and
settings\martin\.vkbstandalone/.metadata/.plugins/de.vkb.standa

versicherungsnehmer/html/angaben zum versicherungsn

Indeed quite a long path so i expected problems and used a
patch to not sync this specific folder .vkbstandalone to the server ...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon]
"ParseAutoexec"="1"
"ExcludeProfileDirs"="Lokale Einstellungen;Temporary Internet
Files;Verlauf;Temp;.vkbstandalone"
"BuildNumber"=dword:00000a28

That works - this path is not synced. Now the strange part:

Even though this path is not synced, windows complains about
it cannot find the path and serves a temporary profile - WHY?!

This path is locally available.

snippets from config:

domain logons = Yes
workgroup = FSH

[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /home/samba/netlogon
browseable = No

[profiles]
comment = Users profiles
path = /home/samba/profiles
read only = No
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
guest ok = Yes
browseable = No

I would really appreciate any hints and ideas.

Regards

Stefan
