Basically what is happening is that the profile can not be stored back on 
the server when you logoff. Rather than destroying your changes to the 
profile it caches it locally and then offers you the chance to update next 
time you logon.
This obviously creates problems for backup centrally etc, but MS ..........

You can add a key to registry that will delete all cached user profiles on 
a machine or use delproff.exe as a batch job overnight. You will of course 
loose modifications either way and if you have mapped your home directories 
to \profiles\user\personal they will loose all work saved !!!

It sounds like you have network problems by not being able to connect to 
the server frequently. Perhaps looking at these might be prudent.
