Never mind... I found the problem. It was indeed a GPO issue. So. what's
  still weird about this. Is that the setting should have applied to all
the computers in the domain, but only some of the computers were
effected. A GPO was was built and linked to the entire domain. The
setting that was enabled and giving me the problem was

user configurartion \
  Administrative Templates \
   System \User Profiles \
    Connect home directory to root of the share

The Default Domain Policy was not defined. Thus, all the computers in
the organization should have been effected by the problem. But like I
said, only some of the computers had the problem and some did not --
weird huh?
