But he's getting access denied just creating the profile directory at logout.

USERENV(170.174) 14:13:24:551 UnloadUserProfileP:  Copying profile back to 
N:\cell\path\to\profile

does not exist.

failed to create roaming profile directory.

If he could read the profile directory on logon I don't know why he would 
be denied writing it at logout unless his token was missing.

Question Christos, can you logon as administrator, obtain a token as the 
user, then xcopy/robocopy the contents of the failed profile directory out 
into AFS manually?
