You may have already looked at this, but does the script attempt to run
or is there no sign of the script running? It may be that the path to
the script is something like

C:\WINDIR\SCRIPTS\addprinter.vbs

when it needs a UNC path like

\\domain_name\sysvol\domain_name\policies\group_policy_guid\user\scripts\logon.

Like I said you may have already addressed this, but this sort of thing
has had me racking my brain at times. Hope it helps.
