So, I am thinking the issue is all in what you mean by "specified
the scope".

Probably.

In a more normal case, one links the loopback GPO to the OU
containing the machines where this should happen.

I believe I have done this. In the GPO Settings on the Scope tab
under Security Filter "The settings in this GPO can only be applied to
the following groups, users, and computers" I have specified one
machine for testing.

Then when editing the the policy, I have changed Computer
Configuration | Administrative Templates | System/Group Policy | User
Group Policy loopback processing mode (enabled - merge) and specified
a logon script under User Configuration.

Is the the proper way to set up the GPO to accomplish what I set out
to do?

Something seems wrong. With only the computer specified in the Scope,
the script does not run. When "Domain Users" and the computer are
specified, the script runs, but it also runs on computers other than
my test machine.

Isn't wrong that will aply to users not to computer so the users must
have
the rigths - and it seems that you have to run gpupdate on the other
computers to update the scope settings.

Yes, for that reason the users do need permission, but the computers also
need
the permission as the loopback processing setting itself is a computer
setting.
