Cannot remove server side rules

I have server side rules in Outlook 2007 that I cannot delete.  I have try going into OWA and still cannot delete the rules.  I connect to an exchange 2007 server.  I read that OulookSpy will work.  Has anyone used this?  If so did it work?

This looks similar to Outlook Spy.  It says to export all the rules and when done import them back in.  I cannot delete any of the rules so do you think export them will do any good?  Also I assume that I should backup his mail to a PST just in case something goes wrong.
Better to visually inspect the rules, record them on paper, then remove all rules as per the above procedure, and then recreate the rules again manually.  I know it's a lot of work, but if you export and reimport again, how do you know you aren't also exporting and reimporting the corruption as well?  The recommended procedure removes that risk.  I've done it quit a number of times, and it always works to remove the corruption.
