Synchronize Error

I routinely synchronize my on-line LAN files to my laptop, but lately I've been unable to add new file folders to the list. I get "cannot find file specified" errors, even though I hit the make_available_offline menu selection. There are entire directory structures I need off line that I can't take with me.
Help?

Ken, Did you ever get a reply to this question? I have been trying to do
the same thing, but there seems to be no way to add files and folders to the
list in the synchronization manager. I have begun to suspect that this is a
difference between XP Pro and XP Home. I have XP Home.

But, I am not sure.

Ned,
No, I haven't received any replies, unfortunately.
I am using XP Pro from a laptop here at work. I have XP Home at home, but never have tried to synch that machine since it doesn't go anywhere and there's no network to synch with anyway for that set up. I still use Briefcase for some things, more as a way to back up though.
I'm thinking of experimenting by taking the folder I want to synch, but can't, and moving it to a folder that does synch correctly and see what happens.

I have Windows 2000 on my laptop and use the synchronization feature a lot.
My files are located on the office network so that my secretary can get at
them, etc. But when I am away from work (on a plane or such) I have all my
files right there on the laptop.

Now I would like to do the same thing on two of my home computers.
Unfortunately, synchronization doesn't see to be a feature of XP Home.
