The closest article that I found is this
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892996
Probably isn't your case but can give you an Idea about some problems with Office 2003.
Can you tell us exactly what options are configured in GPO to achieve that?
You may also try to install latest service pack for office 2003.

Okay, I understand that a user needs full access to his/her profile. My
guess is that the Block Access to C Drive is interfering with the user having
the correct permissions to the C. This ONLY effects Office 2003 though, as I
can download files to the Desktop from IE7. In other words, users with the
folder redirection and blocked access to C drive can download pictures to the
Desktop from e-mail, or a program from a website. I need our patrons to be
able to do this so they have a temp workplace to store their files. All
files are erased after they log off with Deep Freeze. So my question still
remains, I need a way to redirect a user's My Documents to the Desktop, to
deny access to C AND give the user the necessary rights to view/save files to
the Desktop. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, going to each machine to do this
manually just won't work. Too many workstations to even consider trying
this. Is there a way to redirect users My Docs to the desktop, block access
to C and give the users necessary rights to view the Desktop without going to
each machine to do this manually?
