I am trying to configure folder redirection on my W2003 sever

Ouch! That's a bad idea. Your TS shouldn't be doing anything
else.

Agreed, for both performance and security reasons. But it should
not cause the issue you have at the moment.

I created a new
Group Policy for the domain called "Redirect MyDocuments GPO".
Under the folder redirection node for My Documents I selected
Basic - Redirect everyone's folder to the same location.

Target folder was
//SERVERONE/Users. I selected Grant Users exclusive rights,

Hmmm. How are you going to do that when everyone is pointing at
the same folder? Why did you pick that option? I don't think you
need to/want to.

This *is* the correct setting. I agree that it *sounds* wrong, but
what it means is that you redirect all users to a user specific
folder under the same shared folder.

move
contents to new location, leave folder in new location and
redirect when policy removed. The My Pictures buttons were
greyed out.

There are no subdirectories under //SERVERONE/Users and all
rights are correct (I delibertly changed them and got an access
denied event in the app event log)

What are the permissions now, and how did you try to change them

When a TS CLient on another computer saves a document to MY
DOCUMENTS, it ends up on the server in the "Documents and
Setting" folder on my OS partition rather than on the Users
share on the other partition where I want the data. A real
problem since my OS partition is not that big.

Your policy isn't working properly, clearly. RSOP.msc might help
as might gpresult.com - but I'd wonder whether the underlying
issue wasn't the permissions problem.

Yes, that seems to be the problem.

In the application event log, there is an event from Userenv
"Windows cannot determine the user or computer name (the
specified user does not exist. Group Policy Processing
aborted". I have only two users, not sure what they mean.

That's EventID 1053, correct?
Check if this helps:

http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=1053&eventno=1584
&source=Userenv&phase=1

Are you also getting warnings about your DNS? EventID 1053 will
occur if your DNS server is unable to resolve information about
your domain.
