If the logon script is saved in the location you specified, you should enter
"LogonScript.vbs" on the Profile tab of ADUC (without the path information).

If you still have problems, another approach you could take would be to set
your logon script to "LogonScript.cmd" (co-located in the NETLOGON folder
with your original .vbs file), containing the following batch script:

@echo off
echo/starting script...
cscript //nologo "%~dp0LogonScript.vbs"
pause

Then you could write to the console window using wscript.echo statements
that will tell you the state of the script.
