Following is a useful tip for troubleshooting Folder redirection problems and group policy application problems. Login as administrator and set following two registry keys (you may have to create them)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Diagnostics
Value Name: FdeployDebugLevel
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0x0F

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Value Name: UserEnvDebugLevel
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0x00010002

Get user who has redirection problems to logon to machine and then logoff.
Logon as local admin and go to the c:\winnt\debug\usermode here you will find two files fddeploy.log and userenv.log - which are useful for troubleshooting folder redirection problems and all sort of group policy problems.

They are very useful logs !! You can create one or either of the logs userenv more useful for general GP probs and fddeploy for redirection. Remember to turn them off after you've finished as they keep logging.

Hope this helps someone out there sometime.
