Bound 10.6 machines require that all users attempting to log in with AD credentials have either a correct path to an accessible home folder or have “force local home folder” ticked in Directory Utility.
Here are some things to try:
Look at the user’s account and see if they have home folders listed. If they do, make sure they are valid and remove them if they are not. You might simply want to remove them full stop- this has resolved problems like this in the past. Something else to keep in mind: Snow Leopard has horrible problems connecting to SMB shares so if a user has a SMB home folder defined in their AD account it could simply failing to connect and halting the login process.
Use the work-around found in this TS article from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3346
To force a local home folder do this:
Directory Utility > Active Directory > Show Advanced Options
Place a checkmark in "Force local home on startup disk" and uncheck "use UNC path from AD" to force a local home and ignore what's in the directory.
