Why don't store local folders? In my opinion you don't want to rely on a 
server/network connection for the clients.
I use it on 90-100 systems and if I change something to the profile, I 
copy the new profile. Every evening all systems shutdown automatically 
and in the morning when booted the new profiles are loaded.

I use it for a while now and haven't had any problems with it.
For copy I use a self-written tool, which uses SSH for copying the 
profiles. All automatically, works great.

You can also download the profile @ boot/shutdown. Which you can also 
use for diskless clients I guess. A network mount is also possible in 
Linux. The profile folder isn't changed by any user, so you can mount it 
@ boot, read only as /etc/kde-profile.
