Folder redirection not working when moving user to new OU

I have a GPO on a Windows Server 2003 for folder redirection. I'm redirecting My DOcuments folder to a share on a server. We have several sites with the same kind of configuration. The problem I have is when one user move from one site to another I move the server to the new OU but the settings on the local computer doesn't seem to refresh the new policies. I've done gpupdate but nothing. How can I properly have folder redirection work in cases where people is move from one OU to another with different path for the redirection?

Thanks!

Also... how long do you wait? It will take up to at least 15min for the changes to happen, maybe more depending on your replication topology.
"at least 15min" this isnt entirely true.. if you enable notification it could be quicker.

I move the user from one OU to another OU. Each OU points to different servers within the same domain. Just different locations. Yes, I wait way more than 15 minutes (hours) and nothing happens
What happens when you run gpresults?
What happens if you log on to a different machine?
I assume you checked to make sure AD replication is working fine?
Does it ever start working? how long?
