Ok, now with Windows XP works...the problem is 2 wrong settings on Samba:

(little off topic but to someone can be useful)

logon path = \\afs\mediaservice-test.pri\users\%U\.msprofile
        logon home = \\afs\mediaservice-test.pri\%U\.9xprofile

now trying to make it work with Windows 7...but seems there are some
problem on domain join with samba...searching.... :)

Cheers,

Claudio.
