Roaming Profiles over VPN

I am having an issue with Roaming Profiles over the VPN.

I have configured everything to allow full connectivty to/from the
remote site. The IP on the workstation is static with the DNS and
WINS both pointing to the DNS/WINS in the main office where the Active
Directory servers are located. I can ping everything perfectly. I
can also map and use every network resource without a problem.

If I ping the workstation name from the main office, resolution is
immediate and the ping is within the 40ms range.

PROBLEM: Without fail, every time I log onto the remote workstation as
the username and logging into the domain (not local workstation), the
profile is not loaded and I get a LOCAL profile added under System
Settings rather than a roaming profile. Even if I change the profile
to roaming, it still will not load the profile.

The VPN has been configured to allow NetBIOS on both ends. It is
firewall to firewall, not firewall to client.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks..
 
I don't think I'd want roaming profiles being dragged back and forth over a
VPN connection, personally - how big are the profile folders in question?
