offline files disappear

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I have a user who goes offsite and wants to take his data with him on
his laptop and then sync it back up with his desktop when he returns to
the office. I have setup his laptop to use offline files to synchronize
with a shared folder on his desktop. (about 5 GB's worth)

This works well however most/all of the files generally dissappear
after a few days/weeks on the road.
I've tried the following:

-Increasing the offline cache using a local group policy to 25% of the
60GB drive.

Any one have any ideas?
