Problems with network user account /Library/ Folders

I am a IT tech at a business which has a 100 staff working in different departments and in a windows 7 / Mac 10.6 enviorment. I have recently been having issues with users not being able to reopen Siberlius 6 files due to a corrupted file within there library folder. The only way to fix this is to remove the preference folder and cache file which is found in the users network /library/ folder manually. The users have there network home area's mounted which is on a window's file server. I have tried making a logout hook and this removes the local /Library folder but not the one within there network area.

Any idea's how to make these files remove on logoff would be brilliant as i am struggling with the script and staff are starting to complain.

Thanks for any responses

What did you put in this logout hook? Exactly what files did it delete, and which files did it not delete?

Logout Hook

I made .sh file which is located in a folder i created on the local machine, this is its contents
#!/bin/sh


rm -R /Users/$1/Library


exit 0

This would remove the one locally but because when they log in with there ad credentials they also have one which is within there network area (on a windows file server) as well i am having issues setting up a script with a variable so that whoever logs on it deletes it from there home area's.

A example of the location of there home areas are /server1/department/Smith09j

Thanks for your reply.
