Well after nearly a week of agony I finally have my Win 7 roaming 
profiles acting like roaming profiles. It tuns out that while trying to 
get %u (as opposed to %U) to work I also was playing with the Win 7 
profiles. Apparently I managed to munge these registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows 
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\SidXXX\CacheNextLogon
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows 
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\SidXXX\RefCount

For the roaming profile to synchronize properly the CacheNextLogon 
REG_DWORD had to be set to 0x00000000 and the RefCount REG_DWORD to 
0x00000001. After I fixed these to have the proper value my profiles 
began to synchronize properly with my Samba PDC. I don't even remember 
what web search found this little tidbit but I guess even a blind 
squirrel finds a nut every so often.
