User profile and logon script doesn't work over VPN

I've been setting up an office with 4 clients using VPN to connect to a
remote server. The whole idea is to get the user folders centralised so no
matter what computer they're on they have the same files, as they move from
the LAN to the remote office from time to time.

I've got the VPN connection to work just fine. I can browse the LAN without
any latency, but the profile settings does not apply when logging in. I want
the 'profile' tab in AD to apply for VPN connected users, in the same manner
as for the LAN users today. But I can't get it to work, and I've been all
over the net trying to find a solution. The closest I get is this:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/community/columns/inside/techan26.mspx?mfr=true (the topic RRAS, DUN, and the disappearing login script)

This doesn't solve my problem though. I'd like to find a solution where I
force the client to use the profile tab in AD. If I understand the above
article correctly, it's a matter of a 5 second time-out. Is there no way to
edit that time-limit? By editing the registry or whatever works...
 
By the way, I read a post from a guy that had the same problem as me, and the
solution was to not have the same subnets on the server network and the
remote network. Well in my case I have 192.168.0.x on the server network and
192.168.1.x on the remote network so it's not on the same subnet.

Additionally, I actually did get it to work just one time. It was right
after I joined a new client on the domain (over the vpn) and rebooted. When I
logged in for the first time at least the logon script executed. But at next
reboot it was back to not working again.

Any ideas?
