That's what was holding me up. On the setup steps it was a permissions issue, which was solved via the ownership tag.

Do not check for user ownership of Roaming Profile Folders = Enabled
Thank you mister.
I have set this policy for some test users in my AD, yet windows will still freak out if I manually create the users' folders for their profile. The only way I can get roaming profiles to work is to let the user account create the profile folder itself. This isn't quite an issue because I'm still able to access the folders despite them being owned by a specific user and the users can't access each other's folders.
