My first thought is bloated/corrupted profiles. Have you taken a look at that? Tried deleting the users profile?

From the forums:

Some have said that the latest NT SP4 will fix this.

"The Prf*.tmp files are created when the profile is copied back to the
server. W2K copies all of the files in your local profile to the server
based roaming profile area, but renames them with these tmp names. It then
does a file comparison before deleting the network files and renaming the
tmp files to the proper names. If for some reason this process fails, you
will be left with a bunch of prf*.tmp files."
