Couple of items to double check. Make sure the profile path is on a server in the domain. \\like\this\name.usr. Check to ensure there are no policies are running. You can set the policy path under user\windows nt shell custom folders. This can cause this problem. The main area is to set up the roaming profile folder using system properties user profiles section. Copy an existing known profile and provide a shared path on the domain \\like\this\name this is where the extra folders will bepicked up that are not in the profile path name.usr. Be sure to select the permitted to use section and select the user name. Share this folders out appropriately to the user and the proper admin.
