I might have something for you here.....in smbldap.conf.....scroll down to
the Samba section and add %u to the end of the home and profiles defs as
shown in the commented examples just above them.  

# The UNC path to home drives location (%U username substitution)
# Ex: \\My-PDC-netbios-name\homes\%U
# Just set it to a null string if you want to use the smb.conf 'logon home'
# directive and/or disable roaming profiles
userSmbHome="\\NETBIOSNAME_KEY\homes"

# The UNC path to profiles locations (%U username substitution)
# Ex: \\My-PDC-netbios-name\profiles\%U
# Just set it to a null string if you want to use the smb.conf 'logon path'
# directive and/or disable roaming profiles
userProfile="\\NETBIOSNAME_KEY\profiles"


EXAMPLE:

userSmbHome="\\MYSERVER\homes\%U"
userProfile="\\MYSERVER\profiles\%U"

See if this makes any difference and let me know....I'll be trying that
too.  Are you able to save ANY profiles?  I can't even save to
/opt/samba/profiles....let alone any username stuff.
