Restore Deleted items in Outlook is EMPTY with a retention of 14 days on Exchange Server

I just went through our Exchange 2007 server and retention is set globally to 14 days and on the specific user to 14 days.  I have run the outlook 2007 fix to restore from any folder (KB246153) with no luck.  User came in this morning and his INBOX was empty.  I said no problem I will restore it, but no matter what, the restore deleted items is empty whether from the INBOX or Deleted Items folder.  Any thoughts?

I ran this and it completed successfully but nothing is in the restored folder... Any further thoughts...
Do yo do Brick level backup? Can you restore from a backup?
Yes which is a huge hassle and doesn't explain why the deleted items recovery isn't working as it should.
Well if you want that kind of explanation open a MS support issue because it could be anything. This happen sometimes, weird things that can never be explained.
