Try the "NoK" profile with luster paper.  It doesn't use any black
ink, but it does produce a 
neutral/cool print using only the neutralized (with light cyan and
light magenta inks) light 
black ink.  If you need really deep blacks then a neutral profile
that uses either neutralized 
Photo Black (with full strength cyan and magenta) or even better the
MIS PKN (cool neutral 
version of the Photo black ink) should be used.  The Epson Photo
Black ink that is used 
with RC papers is extremely warm.  I don't think that any of the
older profiles for RC 
papers that have been distributed use a neutralized Photo Black ink
and that may be the 
source of the warm tones you are getting.
