samba - Jun 2014 - Are folder redirection and offline files mutually exclusive?

Been tearing my hair out trying to find out if redirecting my user's
automounted home folder is killing offline files availability.

We are just now migrating our windows users to win7 (school, limited funding),
and while I've got folder redirection working, I also need to make sure
offline files work as well for my mobile users.

What smb.conf settings are required that will fix this without breaking XP
users?

Thanks

You should not need any special changes to smb.conf.

Folder redirection implies off line files - they should start syncing as 
soon as the group policy takes effect.
