[WinPartners] Outlook and roaming profiles.

I have a question for roaming outlook users.  When using roaming 
profiles on windows, it is sometimes the case that path to the profile 
changes as
phils, phils.WIN or phils.WIN.000 in "Docs and Settings".  Whenever this
happens outlook stops working and looks for the .pst and .dat files in 
the absolute path C:\Documents and Settings\phils\Local 
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.

Several faculty configurations have broken due to this.  Is there 
something users do when this happens?

And since everything is in "Local Settings" outlook files don't get 
copied back to their network profile. How do users move around?
