Vista Offline Files Redirection Failed When local Cache put in Offline Mode

in particular issue user has logged vista sp1 box , redirected folders our corp file shares; chooses work offline.  redirected folders fails other (new) users on box.

1. redirected folders succeeds user (sam)
2. sam chooses work offline (clicks explorer button) or computer goes offline (slow-link policy)
3. another user (pam) has never logged box logs in.  folders fail redirect (error details: "access denied message").
4. sam logs in , chooses work online.
5. pam logs in , folder redirection succeeds.

my guess sam has placed entire system's reference file share item (\\file\userdata\%username%\) to offline mode.  if case there way change globally?

i've tried access offline item (file share) in cache under user's credentials, has failed -- item null. 

what going on here.  else experience issue?

     using (managementobjectsearcher offlinefilessearcher = new managementobjectsearcher("root\\cimv2", "select * win32_offlinefilesitem itemname = 'userdata'"))            {                          foreach (managementobject offlinefilesobj in offlinefilessearcher.get())              {                    managementbaseobject offlinefilesconnectstateobj = (managementbaseobject)offlinefilesobj["connectioninfo"];                    this.strofflinefilesitemname = offlinefilesobj["itemname"].tostring();                        this.strofflinefilesconnectstate = offlinefilesconnectstateobj.getpropertyvalue("connectstate").tostring();    

hi,

i tried same settings description , got same result. said, happened because sam placed system offline state new user account not connect server , synchronize redirected folder first time until system turned online.

by default, redirected shell folders, such documents, desktop, start menu, , application data, available offline. means user can still work when system offline if user has logged on system once , redirected folder has been synchronized locally.
