Exchange 2010 Activesync Foldersync error 403 for specific user

This started out attempting to set up a new iPad for a particular user. When adding the account now mail would come across so I went to the exchange connectivity analyzer and tested Activesync and checked the sync inbox checkbox. This failed with the error 403. The user is not a member of a privileged group, and I have checked to make sure he has the "inherit permissions" checkbox checked under his account security settings.

Here is the output from the connectivity test
Attempting the FolderSync command on the Exchange ActiveSync session.
 	The test of the FolderSync command failed.

Standard first test - move the user to another database. That will often clear problems.
Has the user ever been a member of a protected group? Have you checked for the Admin property on the user in ADSIEDIT/Attribute editor of ADUC?

Just moved the user to another DB, and verified the all admin attributes in adsiedit were "not set". I reran the test with the same error 403 result.
I lied, the move is still in progress, I will retest once it is complete.
DB moved has completed and the issues still exists.
