OK, I've done that. What's interesting is that the folder won't even let administrators get into it. On the server it shows that 'user1' had no permissions assigned to it at all, but from the client machine I can get into the folder just fine.
So that's done, but the folder is still empty. I've logged on and off the client machine several times, including a power-off shutdown. I just typed 'gpupdate' at the command prompt to see if that will change anything.
But the folder is still empty. :(
