Need help with Event ID's 111 and 1085 on Windows XP

We have a Windows 2003 domain and the problem I'm experiencing with one particular user on a Windows XP SP3 machine.  What seems to be happening, is that when he logs in it loads his roaming profile, and loads his desktop from the loading profile, which contains old data.  We added redirected desktops a few years ago, and up until this point, it's always loaded his desktop from there.  I've also noticed his printers aren't displayed, and it seems IE has defaulted itself, so those settings didn't seem to load either.  Each time he logs in, he gets the following two Events in the Application Log.

Event ID 111 Souce Folder Redirection - Unable to apply folder redirection policy, initialization failed.

Event ID 1085 Source Userenv - The Group Policy client-side extension Folder Redirection failed to execute. Please look for any errors reported earlier by that extension.

Now as far a I know, this is only happening with this user on any computer he logs onto, all machines are XP SP3 as mentioned above.  I'd like to not have to recreate his profile, so does anyone have any suggestions?

I'd also like to note, he was getting the following error:
Event ID 1525 Source Userenv - Windows has detected that Offline Caching is enabled on the Roaming Profile share - to avoid potential profile corruption, Offline Caching must be disabled on shares where roaming user profiles are stored.

I went to the Redirected Desktops share and set "Files or programs from the share will not be available offline."  Which made error 1525 go away, but maybe that did corrupt his roaming profile?

"Event ID 111 Souce Folder Redirection - Unable to apply folder redirection policy, initialization failed."

This is often caused by a permissions issue on the share/folder (Share and NTFS Security)

Probably want to make sure these reg keys (both) point to the proper network path....

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Are you sure it isnt a TEMP profile?

start>run>cmd

set u

Whats the USERPROFILE value?

Under here....

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

For the subkey for his SID (identified by the "ProfileImagePath", whats the "CentralProfile" value? Points to the correct one?

Well, it is not a temp profile, but when I checked those two registry keys, I noticed under User Shell Folders that Desktop was pointed to %Username%\Desktop, and it shouldn't be pointing to the local profile, should be looking at \\server\Redirected Desktops.

The CentralProfile looks good, points to \\server\home\profiles\username.
I was hoping you were in a TEMP profile, as it would have also explained Outlook/Printers..... D'oh!!

Recreating the roaming profile fixed the problem.
