I am having the same problem, and the oplocks fix (KB296264) didn't help.
Vista Ultimate laptop, fully updated; file share is on an XP Pro SP2
desktop. Oplocks fixes placed in XP machine's registry to no avail.
Permissions set to "Full" access on the share. Can't find anything more in
the Microsoft KB on this, but there are plenty of posts about this problem in
various internet newsgroups.
Still having random files listed as "not available" after an allegedly
error-free sync by the Vista laptop. Interestingly, sometimes if I manually
sync the file(s) in question multiple times, they will eventually become
available when I go offline. No rhyme or reason to how many attempts it will
take to be successful.
Very quirky behavior.
