My Documents redirection problem

Hi!

I'm administrating a SBS2003 server with 5 clients. By default their My
Documents were stored at C:, which quickly ran out of space, so I redirected
My Documents using the tool under 'Server Management' -> Users -> My
Documents redirection. I set permissions on the new folder manually according
to 'Best practices'. As I completed the redirection, 3 clients were moved
correctly, but 2 didn't move at all. I'm no expert, so finding the problem is
difficult for me, but as far as I know, all clients have the same permissions
and settings. Do I have to remove those 2 clients and create new clients, or
is there an "easy" way to fix this problem? As they have -alot- of files,
emails etc, I'd like to avoid deleting their accounts and making new.

I have checked the GPO, and it's set to "Basic (Redirect everone's folder to
the same location)". "Grant user exclusive rights to My Documents" is
Disabled, but since 3 clients were moved correctly, this shouldn't be the
problem I think.

I've been struggeling with this problem for months now, so any help is
greatly appreciated.

Thanks
