So you'll have to redesign your GPOs. TS settings go into the
TS- GPO, settings which should apply to your users when they
logon to their workstation go into the Users-GPO.

Thanks... Most of what you said was very helpful. Removing
loopback from a few locations helped with a related problem
(setting the active desktop wallpaper)

However, my problem with your advice regarding TS Profile Path
is that TS Roaming Profile is only definable as a Computer
configuration... not as a User configuration (which seems
strange to me)

So when I go to the OU1 and I create a GPO to implement the
"settings that should apply to the user when they log on to
thier workstations" and one of those settings I want to set is
the TS roaming Profile path (so they hit a standard mandatory
profile for that group of users) , the only choice I have is to
define it at a computer configuration in that "user OU" .
When I actually do this, and I log in as User11 (which lives in
that OU1 "user ou") it does not result in the user actually
ending up with the mandatory profile.

Thoughts?

Yes, the behaviour that you describe is by design.
That's how settings in GPOs are applied. When a user logs on to a
computer (be it a workstation or a TS) the following settings apply
(without loopback processing):
1. the Computer Configuration settings from the GPO linked to the
OU which contains the computer account
2. the User Configuration settings from the GPO linked to the OU
which contains the user account
