windows domain user cannot login to mac

we have a macbook here that is connected to our windows domain.  This user recently had to change her password since it expired, I changed it in Active directory.  Unfortunately she cannot login to her macbook since this was done.  I am able to login as root, and when I do a su username, I get /Network/Servers/MYSERVER/..../.bashrc: Authentication error.
Then I get error retrieving the currect directory : getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied

How do I fix this?

I did that in AD already, she unfortunately cannot login to the mac.  

I did do su passwd username
That got rid of the authentication error but I still get the getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied
Couple of thoughts....

1. Make sure the MacBook is able to connect to the network.
2. On the logonscreen, do you get a message about network logons not available?
3. Can other domain users log into the MacBook?
4. Check that all of the settings for binding the MacBook to your domain are correct.

I am giving points to my solution, but also Geodash since his would have worked if the profile was not corrupted
