roaming profiles dying

My server W2003 and I have a workstation running XP Pro. I have roaming profiles set up for the two users that occasionally use this same machine.

First logon for user1 is fine, no folder exists on the machine and windows copies everything from the server correctly, and on the logoff syncs correctly.

I can log off and back on as many times as I want with user1. The problem comes when I log on user2. This user's files are copied, as they should, and logs off.

THEN, user1 tries to log on and the computer can't find the local profile!

Here's my temporary fix: log on as the Administrator, rename the local profile folder for user1 to something else (i.e. user1_temp/) and then log on as user1. The problem is, now user2 has the same problem.

Any ideas how to fix permanently?
