looks like it was an encryption problem. when I disabled Offline File
Encryption, everything works fine. Turn it right back on, and problem comes
back. Anyone know if I need anything special to be able to use offline file
encryption?

doing this fixed it, even though I never got this error. I think Offline
Files needs to add a little more feedback when it's having a problem.
