Cannot synchronize offline files on Windows XP

We have changed a user's My Documents folder to point to a the user shared folder on  the company Windows 2003 server.  We would like to be able to set the My Documents folder to use offline files.  However, when we try to do this, it fails and says it is unable to make the folder available offline because access is denied.  I have checked the security settings and share security on the base share and the user's folder and they are set up correctly.  Any ideas on why this is happening?

Thank you

Group policy might not permit you to have offline files. Either check your local policy or the group policy being pushed down from your DC. gpedit.msc from a run command will pull it up.

Group policy is set to allow offline files.  I think if it was disallowed, the user wouldn't even have the option of enabling it
Is caching enabled for the share?
Yes, it is set to "Only the files and programs that users specify will be available offline"
Any ideas on this?
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/275461 about permissions.
Another reason for the problem can be that encryption. If the policy "Encrypt the offline files cache" is enabled, try to disable it.
Permissions are set correctly according to that Microsoft article.  Encrypt offline files cache is enabled.  I will try disabling it later and see if that fixes the problem.  I would like to keep this enabled for security.  Is there a reason why there would be an issue with encrypting the offline files cache?

Thanks

This information was very helpful to me. However, it did not resolve the issue.  

I believe that there is a strong possibility that the Offline File Cache had become corrupted, as it did in my case.  Unfortunately, the only solution that I found to resolve my issue was to Reinitialize the offline Cache and the syncrhonization errors were resolved.

To Reinitialize Offline Files cache:
Open Windows Explorer, go to Tools, Folder Options, click on the Offline Files tab, then while holding down the left Ctrl key and left Shift key at the same time, click the Delete Files.

You will be presented with a warning that any files which have not synchronized with the server will be lost and that the computer needs to be restarted.

I did this and when the computer rebooted the offline files were resynchronized and all is well.
