But I'm using roaming profiles with folder redirection and offline files. I
want to logon to the locally cached copy when, say, my laptop is mobile and
on the road.

I should be able to logon to the locally cached profile. The documentation
for roaming profiles states that all changes to the profile and offline files
will be merged/copied back to the server when I next logon to the network.
