I don't know about others, but I've never understood the @HomeShr thing. If you map the HomeShr in the profile, why do it in KiX too? I've run into issues with some PCs not mapping it properly in the profile and if done in both places, I've run into conflict issues. I don't set it in the profile leaving it entirely upto the script to do.
I completely agree with you, though, to add an interesting bit of information regarding this. I once had an issue with login scripts, and I had to call Microsoft: the homeshare in the user profile wasn't consistently being picked up by the logon script to map. They flat out told me that the only way that they support login scripts is if they are running from the GPO, and not from the Netlogon. Go figure...
Though there's some legit use for the GPO logon scripts, for some reason, I'm still partial for the netlogon scripts, but from that day on, I completely abandoned the net use /home nomenclature, and now rely on either ini files, or database to get use home dirs (at least until I have DFS fully implemented 
)
