I setup my SAMBA Server to be a PDC w/o LDAP. I joined my XP workstation
to the domain no problem but when it attempts to load the profile it
says that the Profile Server will not allow access and will log the user
on with local temp profile. I have the profile share setup and
writeable by @users. I also created a /var/samba/profiles/username
folder for the user. What is it that I could be doing wrong? After the
initial logon I haven't been getting the error when relogging on but it
is not writing anything to the directory after I logoff.

With correct permissions?

You should verify if you can on the samba box (as root initially)
- su to that user
- then cd to his homedir
- create a testfile/folder in his profiles share
- "gid" reveals he is really a member of the "users" group.

You may get some better hints here, if you post your smb.conf as well, but
omit the default comment lines.
Now crank up the loglevel in your smb.conf to maybe 3, try again and then
have a good time with the files you find in /var/log/samba.

My loglevel was set to 3. I logged in as the user and tried creating a
folder in the username folder and it didn't work so i corrected that. I
am going to try that and see what happens. I actually downloaded the
newest version of samba yesterday and went through the unzipping, and
running configure from the /src directory. Ran make.. then make and make
install but it is still running the old version. What did I do wrong?
Maybe because of where I downloaded the file to and ran everything from. .

Logged on from a windows pc/samba, or locally?

Don't do that unless you know where you will find your files, and what else
you will have to do by hand afterwards.
A samba compiled from source will land in /usr/local/ unless various
prefixes are corrected in the makefile. There will be no "daemon start
script" either for it.
Now, if you don't want to keep the self-compiled binaries, run "make
uninstall".
Come back with output from your logfile and smb.conf, when you still see
errors.

You assume too much.
