Local forest roaming profiles with remote forest users within RDS?

We have been using RDS for some time now. New users get a new profile from (*1)"\\domain_1\netlogon\Default User.v2" when they first logon to a RDS session host. Ones that is done, the profile is becomes roaming profile that is stored on (*2) "\\some_serverx_in_domain_1\profiles$\%username%". (Note, this last setting can be set in 4 different places. We used a GPO and used the Remote Desktop Services section to set it) 

So far, no rocket science. Now...

Recently we've been asked to allow user accounts from another (trusted) forest (domain_2) to our RDS environment. These users are able to logon to our RDS environment but they do not get a fresh profile from our (*1) default profile location. Instead, they get a default profile from the RDS session host and this new profile does not become roaming so it is not saved to our (*2) location. How can we force the foreign accounts to get a roaming profile within domain_1 without having to change anything outside our administrative border?  
Note: Their logon servers do not have a "Default User.v2" in their netlogon and their roaming profile settings are set in the AD properties for the user accounts. The roaming profiles they use are pre-2008 and thus unusable for our 2008-R2 RDS environment.

We are not looking for cross-forest roaming profile functionality. We just want foreign accounts to use our roaming profile setup. Please Help!
