I have been using RIS for about 3 years now and have never had this problem:

I install my base image with all the applications that are needed.

I log in as a generic user (with admin rights) and configure my settings and
environment the way I want them to be presented.

I always restart and log-in as a user with local administrator access (also
a domain admin) and copy the created profile over to the "default user"
profile. I assign rights to this profile to everyone.

I can then log-out and login as a new user, getting the new profile.

I usually then restart the machine, delete all profiles except the
administrator and launch riprep. I delete the profiles from the "System"
User Profiles tab.

The image copies up successfully, and blows down successfully, but when a
new user logs in they do not get the newly created default user profile.

Does anyone have a clue as to why this is happening?

TIA,

Jeff

I found the answer on a remote newsgroup, go figure:
