I have some extremem difficulties with a roaming profile and outlook. It's
happening to one user (me) and I think i know what's causing it, but I don't
know how to fix it.

I get an error message: The path for the file c:\documents and
settings\johns.swwfuc.000\local settings\application
data\microsoft\outlook\outlook.ost is not valid.

I had a few issues when i created my user name and had to delete it and
start over again. There is another filder under c:\documents and
settings\johns.swwfcu (there is no 000 behind it).

I am positive that's part of the problem. I couldn't delete the .000
folder, it said it was a protected system folder.

Is there anything I can do, can anyone please help???

Windows is creating a temp folder for this profile.
But outlook keep the path of the OST file in the registry. That's why it
can't find the OST (hard coded in the registry after setting up Outlook).

You must resolve your profile issue.
As a temporary workaround, do not use the "exchange cached mode" in outlook.
