Vista " Could Not Find This Item" - Sync Error

Guys,

I've searched for this and I have seen many people specifying Unlocker
as the solution to this.
However my issue is not to do with a locked file, but in fact a Sync
file when using Offline Folders.

My user is on the network using a mapped drive. The same mapped drive
is synchronised using Offline Folders to the user's local hard drive
for offline use.

However occasionally that user will attempt to delete a file from the
Network drive and receive the error "Item Not Found", and "Could not
find this item". I check on the server and the item indeed is gone
from the network share. I refresh the folder and the item dissappears
and the issue has gone. However this is a cause for concern as I'm
worried that more instances of this could occur (and have done
already) along with perhaps the loss of a file that hasn't been
deleted due to errors in the Sync mechanism.

Hopefully others have had this issue and can help.

Thanks

Wiggzy
