Can you check the event logs for errors? XP and 2000 boot up differently
(XP does not wait for some network elements to load unless a GPO turns off
fast boot). Maybe this has something to do with it? If you try two or
three times, is the user then able to get his profile?

In our environmnet we use the same mandatory profile for Win2k and XP
clients. We had a few issues until we redid the profile using an XP box
instead of a 2K box.
