Do you have ACL enabled on the partition?


In my share I have the options
[ProfileShare]
...
create mask = 4711
directory mask = 4711
map acl inherit = Yes
profile acls = Yes
store dos attributes = Yes
root preexec = /root/pdc/smbmkhomedir.sh %D %U
...



< smbmkhomedir.sh >
#!/bin/bash
if [ ! -e /home/$1/$2 ]; then
	mkdir -p /home/$1/$2
	chown $2:"Domain Users" /home/$1/$2
	chmod 4711 /home/$1/$2
	setfacl --set=d:u::rwx,d:g::--x,d:o::---,d:u:$2:rwx,d:g:'domain 
users':--x /home/$1/$2
fi
exit 0
