Had a similar situation.
In my opinion you should
1) In group policy parameters change the Deleting Policy parameter to move MyDocuments back into user profile
 Wait for policy to apply
 2)disabe redirection at all, wait for policy to apply
3) Enable  redirection into the new folder
 
If the redirection back to profile won't work, you should manully change the placement of My Documents to the profile. In my case this happens with some users,  happily I don't have very much of them.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Folder Redirection

Happy Friday
 
 
I'm running W2k Ad.
 
I have folder redirection in place and the path is \\server\share\%username%.  My pilot team thinks it's too confusing because the path is their home folder and they store other things on there.  They would prefer \\server\share\%username%\MyDocuments.
 
However when I set that up it receive the following errors:
 

Aborting redirection of folder My Documents. The new folder path may not be a subdirectory of the current path. The folder is configured to be redirected to \\server\share\%username%\MyDocuments\. Files were to be moved from \\server\share\%username%\ to \\server\share\%username%\MyDocuments\

 

 

However, when using the help feature for GPO's  for folder redirect is gives me "\\server\share\%username%\My Documents" as an example.  Can this not be done?
