This is the behavior that I am seeing. I had considered have My Documents redirected based on group and/or OU but that runs into a different problem.
Because I am using the CIFS.HOMEDIR option along with redirection that enables users to create a subdirectory for their home directory with the following:
/vol/homedirs/systems/%u%/.WIN_HOME /vol/homedirs/systems/%u%/WIN_HOME /vol/homedirs/systems
I can't be sure where a users home directory is likely to be so I was hoping that I could use the same functionality to redirect My Documents to the users home directory. I'm not sure if this is doable at all.

Hi Eric,
A particular CIFS homedirs is only visible if you're logged on as the user whose login is matching the foldername. I've got a similar issue when configuring the home directory in the user manager in our NT 4.0 domain. As I'm not logged on as the user, I can't see his homedir. However, have a look at this, maybe it might help you: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodt echnol/windowsserver2003/proddocs/datacenter/gpx_redirectHomeADV.asp
