I have read every article I can on this...run the UPHclean utility to clean the profiles...and it still does not seem to work. I still get the same error. I have not been able to reboot the server since UPHclean was run however. I will do that this evening. But, does anyone have any additional ideas?

I have rebooted. UPHclean is running as a service. This is a term server/Citrix Server. The profiles are not roaming...they are local. M: documents and settings
I tried, as a test, giving my user account full permission to the docs and settings directory and making sure I was explicitly an admin on the local box. This time when I tried to log on I got the error...cannot load your local profile windows is using the default profile instead. So it still did not work right even when I had full permissions. And I know I shouldn't need to give these explicit permissions as I do not have to do this on any other server.

Are your profiles roaming or local?
If they are roaming, first check that your machine can actually connect to the server that hosts the profiles share. What are the share permissions on your profile share? Share permissions should be everyone-full control and ntfs permissions should be the default ones. This will make them able to actually create a profile folder in the share but only have access to theirs. If you only shared out the share using default permissions then they would only have read on the share and that would not be adequate. If that does not work, make sure the path to the profiles share in the user account is correct and using a unc path not a local path. eg. \\server\profileshare\%use
