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?

same problem. File server is Windows Server 2003 Cluster.

The "Offline Availability" says "Not available". What does that mean? The
user does login to another machine and access these files. But there's like
500 files and all files and folders say "Not available" for Offline
Availability.

Other users (in same Org Unit) can log into that same machine and Offline
Files works fine. I'm stumped.

I've tried removing the profile on that computer and re-creating it, but
same problem. Originally the Org Unit for these users didn't allow access
to Control Panel. Could that have something to do with it, since Sync
Center and Offline Files features are under Control Panel? But even after
allowing Control Panel, still same problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

My reply isn't really related to your encryption problem but I thought I
would share with everyone what fixed my Offline file sync problem.

Offline files would not sync, only showed sync pending. I added the
everyone group to the file server root for the userdata folder (our
share name). I then changed the user permissions under the advanced tab
to just list contents (to maintain security on the files). Once that was
done I could click the sync all button under the sync center and it
worked.

If anyone has any questions please post a note on here.
