Active Directory Home Folder problems with 10.4 and higher

I'm trying to allow our Mac users to have home folders. However when I enable a home folder in Active Directory it stalls the login process under 10.4-10.4.3. If I boot into single user mode and login I get fed back an error about the home folder

no home directory /Network/Servers/server.domain.com/User

The System Log file reports the following

Can't mount server.domain.com:/User on /private/Network/Servers/server.domain.com/User: Invalid argument (22)
Build-Mac kernel[0]: nfs server automount -fstab [123]: not responding

Where server.domain.com are my server and domain info and User is the Home Folder directory.

If I disable the home folder in Active Directory or turn off the option Use UNC path from Active Directory to Derive Network Home Location the user can then log in but they no longer have their home folder mount at login.

Any thoughts?
