Mandatory Profile not available error

I set up a required mandatory profile. This means that when the profile is not available I get an error stating : The profile is not available so you can't login.

THis seemed to be working properly. However I set up a machine and it worked fine. Then I set the machine aside for about a week. Now if I try to login I get the above message. However, loggin in as the admin I can see the share with the profile IS available.

Additionally logging onto another machine with the original username it works. SO it is not a problem with the share or the user account since the same account works on other machines.

Any ideas on what is wrong on this one machine?

Using Kerberos integration for login.

The login verifies username and password and then does "Loading Personal Settings" and then when it starts to do apply personal settings the error I get is :

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows cannot log you on because your roaming mandatory profile is not available. This may be caused by incorrect file system permissions or network problems. Contact your network administrator.

DETAIL - Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

However, If I remove the profile path from the user account then the login works and the default account is assigned. Additionally if I log in directly to the domain with theprofile path set in the user acocunt then the mandatory profile DOES get assigned.

SO it is only a combination of the Kerberos INtegration and the Mandatory Profile....

I created a new share on a fileserver instead of using a share on a domain controller and so far it seems to be working...
