Terminal Server and Group Policy Options

This is by design. It's the way roaming profiles work.

You have defined the roaming profile to be located on the DC. When
a user logs on to the TS, a copy of the romaing profile is stored
on the TS, in C:\Document and Settings. As long as the user is
logged on to the TS, changes to the profile are made to the local
copy of the profile. When the user logs off, changes are replicated
back to the roaming profile location on the DC.

If you want to, you can configure the TS to delete the locally
cached copy of the profile from the TS when the user logs off.

You can (and should) avoid that the profile contains user
documents, by redirecting the My Documents and Desktop folders to
another location, outside the profile.

All this can be done with a GPO:

Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - User
profiles
"Delete cached copies of roaming profiles"

User Configuration - Windows Settings - Folder Redirection
Application Data
Desktop
My Documents
Start Menu

and because folder redirection settings are user settings, you will
also need to configure loopback processing of the GPO:

Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - Group
Policy
"User Group Policy loopback processing mode" - "Replace"
