[K12OSN] Roaming profiles not saving correctly

[Joe Faletra]

XP machines.

They ARE saving the profile but they are saving in
/home/USERNAME/profiles  and we all know this is bad because they can
be "accidentally" deleted!

I want the profiles to be saved elsewhere namely
/opt/samba/profiles/USERNAME
