CDK w4start error - Domain - Folder redireciton - APPDATA

CDK w4start error - Domain - Folder redireciton - APPDATA

Users receive WSSTART4 error.  Seems that when folder redirection is applied for APPDATA, this causes CDK not to work as designed.  
Follow these steps

After discovering that redirecting AppData has caused unexpected problems with various applications (mostly Mozilla Thunderbird/Firefox) I want to stop using folder redirection for AppData, and move it back into the roaming profile.

The steps I've taken so far (as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888203)

* Change the folder redirection GPO so that the "Redirect the folder back to the local userprofile location when policy is removed" option is selected

* Created a new GPO and enabled "Process even if the Group Policy objects have not changed" inComputer Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/System/Group Policy/Folder Redirection policy processing

* gpupdate /force on the client machine, logged out

* Moved the user account to an OU that does not have the Folder Redirection policy applied to it

*gpupdate/force and a couple of logoff/logons

After following these steps, the user account's AppData is still in the share that the folder redirection policy points to.

Typing "echo %appdata%" shows that it is still reading AppData from the network share.

gpresult /z shows that it is not processing the GPO that applies folder redirection to AppData.

How can I get AppData to move back in to the profile?
