File shares permissions roaming profiles

Can someone please help me out here.

Our file server properties are
Full computer name: CHSLabSrv1
Domain Name: NUACS.local
Roaming Profile Path: \\chslabsrv1\students\2008\student#

Folder Structure: E:\
                                      Teachers\
                                                    misc folders and files
                                      Admin\
                                                    misc folders and files
                                      MPPro\
                                                   misc folders and files
                                      StudentLab\

                                                                    misc folders and files

We are using roaming profiles for our students. When some students login they recieve "profile cannot be found", "can't save roaming profile". It also seems to take forever for a student to login. We would like to get rid of this error. Also when a student does login and go to network neihborhood, the only folder we would like them to have access to is StudentLab and MPPro. Is this possible? How would I perform this? I guess the big problem I am having is what share permissions do I need in the parent folder to have full control of the child folder. I don't want each student to have full control of the Students folder if I can help it, do they have to have any permissions to the Students folder at all?

On second thought I can't recall if the redirection feature is available in 2000 AD.    Is there any good reason why you have not changed to 2003 AD?

With all the testing I am assuming the permissions are incorrect. How do I correct them?

try going into the share and seeing if you can open on of the other users profiles....  Typically ntfs permissions are setup in a manner where even a domain admin can't access them without first taking ownership.  Everyone will have access to the share point but only the individual users should be able to access what's in thier folders.
