Mark, I see you using the word "synchronize"; roaming profiles does not provide synchronizing functionality, I think whats causing you synchronizing problems is "Offline Files". It has been my experience that offline files causes lots of problems with roaming profiles, Microsoft even recommends not combining the two technologies. Roaming profiles provides uploading, downloading, and merging functionality, but only during a logon or logoff event. If the user losses connectivity to the server while logged on, the roaming profile is not affected. I could also be misunderstanding your problem.
