Has anyone seen this error on Folder Redirection and if so
how would I go about fixing it.

Failed to perform redirection of folder My Documents. The
files for the redirected folder could not be moved to the
new location. The folder is configured to be redirected to
\\fp-001\private$\%username%. Files were being moved from
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents to \\fp-001
\private$\username. The following error occurred:
The security descriptor structure is invalid.

Thanks.
 
NTFS permissions are too restrictive for folder redirection to occur on the
target server.

1. Grant the user ownership and full permissions to the folder on the server
that is storing their My Documents contents and any subfolders of that
folder.

-or- (and a much better solution)

2. Grant the System account full control to the folder on the server that is
storing their My Documents contents and any subfolders of that folder.

By default if there does not exist a folder to store the user's My Documents
contents on the server, it is created and both the user has ownership and
System is granted full control permissions. These permissions then flow to
any subfolders created on the server via inheritance. If the user is not
the owner of the folders or System does not have full control permissions
then the errors are generate.
