Using nework profile with top level directory of the profile without privilege to create new directoriew, makes maven to fail on first startup with a bit cryptic message:
org.apache.maven.MavenException: Unable to extract plugin: C:\Maven 1.1-beta-1\plugins\maven-nsis-plugin-1.1.jar
at org.apache.maven.plugin.PluginManager.unpackPlugin(PluginManager.java:1097)
...
— Nested Exception —
java.io.FileNotFoundException: \\server\username$\.maven\cache\maven-nsis-plugin-1.1\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF (The system cannot find the path specified)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:179)
at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:131)
at org.apache.maven.util.Expand.extractFile(Expand.java:147)

at org.apache.maven.util.Expand.execute(Expand.java:67)
at org.apache.maven.plugin.PluginManager.unpackPlugin(PluginManager.java:1093)
...

The reason for failure is not that plugin is corrupted but that .maven directory can't be created.
Work around is to set MAVEN_HOME_LOCAL to point somewhere in the user space.
