Having a problem with Windows 7 offline files

I'm having a problem with Windows 7 offline files with some users.
I've redirected their documents to a share on the server. When they are on the road and connected through the VPN they have access to their documents. if I unplug them from the network they have their documents (Sometimes).
Sometimes when they are on the road, their documents folder disappears.
It shows that it is syncing and always available offline.
Any idea on why the documents folder disappears?
I need the user to always have acces to their documents and also backed up on the Server.

Any suggestions would be appreaciated.

Were running this on 2003 Server. I was able to get everything to work on my Computer this morning, now I need to go over what I did and duplicate it on another one. Thanks for the reply but this does not apply to my problem although it does give me a better understanding of it.
