Windows 7 Folder Redirection = Access denied

I have a GP to redirect My Documents to \\server\share\%username%\Documents.

If this user has never logged on before the Documents folder IS created but the following errors appear in the event log:-

Failed to apply policy and redirect folder "Documents" to "\\server\share$\userid\Documents".

Redirection options=0x1218.

The following error occurred: "Can not create folder "\\server\share$\userid\Documents"".

Error details: "Access is denied.

 

Folder redirection does then not work.  The logged on user can manually create files/folder in \\server\share$\userid or in \\server\share$\userid\Documents


The same policy works correctly under Windows XP however it sets it to "My Documents" rather than "Documents".

So I have two questions:-

How can I resolve the issue with Folder redirection not working?
When it does work, if a user logs on to a Win 7 pc and then logs on to a Win XP pc will their documents all be in the same place?  (or some in my docs, some in docs?)
