I am still having the issue as stated before. I have not re-created the
profile nor have I "clean-booted" because I don't see how that is related at
all.

I have verified that my test user has ownership of his home folder. I have
unchecked the Grant Ownership option under folder redirection.

I have the same setup for Windows XP, but haven't had this issue before. If
I log the test account onto the computer for the first time it works. The
second time I log in to the same computer I get the Folder Redirection error
503 "access is denied." "Failed to create known folder manager."

What I might do for a workaround is to just have the group policy dump the
local profile at logoff using the setting "Delete cached copies of roaming
profiles."

I'll post as to how that works.
