The profile structure has been redesigned in Vista/Server2008 (v2-generation of profiles) and is by that reason not compatible with older OS-versions like XP/Server2003 using v1-profiles. The only way to get systems to co-operate between the proflie generations is to use folder redirection, but the profile folder containing registry etc can't be reused between the different system generations.
When using roaming profiles, this is solved automatically by the system by adding .v2 to the end of the folder name to make it possibly for roaming profiles from different generations to exist in same parent folder.
