No, this has worked fine for some time before this. In fact the recycler directory is created in the redirected My Documents folder of the user as is the long named recyle bin folder within that. I deleted both of them in my domain account just to make sure that they would be recreated. The file/directory that is deleted just does not show up.

From what I can tell, when you redirect a folder it then behaves as a network mapped drive, it will therefore directly delete the file rather than storing it in the recycle bin, as it is not a local file. To combat this issue I have turned on Shadow Copies and distributed the previous versions client to the workstations. Not quite the same, but it saves from having to recreate the entire document.
