AFP and SMB Home Folders

Has anybody managed to find a way of using both AFP home folders and SMB folders?

What I am trying to do is have both setup on a students/staff login so that they can access there windows based home directory and also access the Mac home directories for things like Aperture, iphoto garage band etc which require a lot of storage room. We Limit Student storage to 150mb so we need to be able to use our current promise storage to store the home folders.

I have read a few forums with scripts on but i can't seem to get them to work.

I have got a working magic (golden) Triangle I can login to the any Mac with the any AD login and it works I can see there windows based home folder.

Any Help would be much appreciated.

Our Current setup is:

Mac OS X Server (xServe) 10.7.5 running OD as Master and bound to AD

Mac Clients 10.7.5

Windows 2008R2 Domain Controller

Xserv (Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.5)
