browse(run) \\sharifmetals.com\sysvol\sharifmetals.com\Policies\ and see if its accessible
See if that folder actually exists. I think from the folder you can tell which gpo is causing the problem.
They should be listed in .adm format. You can open those in notepad to tell what they do exactly, just make sure you don't save changes.

if you run gpupdate from dos what kind of result are you getting?

look here
Group policies are not applied the way you expect; "Event ID 1058" and "Event ID 1030" errors in the application log
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314494/en-us
CAUSE
This issue may occur if both of the following conditions are true: " Your Windows XP-based computer is a member of a domain.
" The Microsoft Distributed File System (DFS) client is turned off.
Note The \\Active Directory Domain Name\Sysvol share is a special share that requires the DFS client to make a connection.
Note This issue may also occur if "Everyone" has been removed from the root drive NTFS file system permissions. If "Everyone" has been removed from the root drive NTFS permissions, restore the "Everyone" group's NTFS permissions on the root folder by granting "Everyone" the special Read and Execute NTFS permissions on the root folder only.
