From your question it sounds like the individual disciplines are saving there custom menus to different locations, probably on individual pc's, or they dont have identical drive maps.
In my experience the only way to make importing/exporting profiles effective the way you want to use them, to keep disciplines updated with the same tools, is to have all the menu's located on a server and have the profiles look for them there. Also all the pc's have to have identical drive maps.Thats how we use them but we currently have only 2 users so its not that hard.
What I would recommend is that you get one current user working totally from the server then export that profile. That means you will have to move all the menu (.cui) files to the server.
I know that may sound like a serious task and it is, but if after few times of having to do the same custom work on new users I think it would pay for itself. Kinda like do the hard work once now or do it everytime you get a new user.
Anyhow if you need help on moving the cui files or anything else just post here.
