There are a few things you need to become aware of:
1. The physical location of your logon script is not important.
  What matters is that the logon script resides in the "netlogon"
  share of your server. Does it?
2. Did you specify pslogon.bat in your users' profiles?
3. Placing the "exit" command after the "net use" command is not
    only unnecessary; it also deprives you of any diagnostic feedback.
    A far better way would be to code the script like so during
    the debugging phase:
@echo off
echo Starting the logon script
net use s: \\gateway\psdata
pause

You will now have plenty of time to watch what's going on.
