offline files disappear

[chusome]

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?

I have the same problem. Except I am redirecting "My Documents".

From what I can tell, when he connects to his Home network the PC thinks it
can still connect to the Server where the Network Version is and just says
can find the path instead of switching to work Offline.

Is there a way to force this? We've tried syncing once connected through
VPN but that just seems to let you access the Network Version while connected
not reseting whatever needs resetting.
