Folder Redirection Partially Applying

My environment:
Win 2012 Active Directory
Windows 7 clients

OU named Folder Redirection Test (with blocked inheritance)
GPO named Folder Redirection Beta
Folder Redirection is enabled for: AppData, Documents, Pictures, Links, Favorites, Start Menu, Desktop
Pictures is set to Follow Documents.
GPO is applied only to this OU.

All works except for Documents and Pictures.  Neither are being redirected.  Their folders are not being created in the network share.  The user's folder is being created and AppData, Links, Favorites, Start Menu and Desktop are the subfolders.

Registry entries (HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/User Shell Nodes) shows everything being correct except My Documents and Pictures are set to %USERPROFILE% and not the network share.

gpresult /h and gpresult /v show that only this GPO is being applied to this (test) user.

That attached image shows the results of gpresult /v.  Note the redirect path for Documents is "N/A".

I've already checked permissions on the DFS share (Domain Users has Full Control) and have recreated the GPO.

Any ideas?

Does gpupdate /force return any errors?  Have you checked on the windows firewall?

Found a competing GPO and incorrect path being used.
