[THIN] Why doesn't GPO behave?

I've created a GPO for a Terminal Server, domain is 2K and TS is 2K3.
Created an OU and stuck the TS in the OU. Linked said GPO to the OU
and enabled lookback processing. There are several items set but the
one I am having trouble with is the My Documents folder redirection.

I change the setting to Basic - Redirect everyone's folder to the same
location. Target Folder - Redirect to the following location and Root
path = \\servername\share\users\%username%

After I hit apply, ok and then go back in, it reverts back to the
target folder as "Create a folder for each user under the root path".
I'd not be concerned other than the fact that the redirection is not
working. Each user points to a location on the C: drive locally to the
TS box. Anyone encounter this before or know what the possible issue
could be? Basics have been checked like authenticated users have the
GPO applied, permissions are set on the file share which stores the
profile. I've even set the my documents path manually for a user and
this works as after they log off and back on, their My Documents
points correctly. Seems that just the GPO is not functional.
