Gpupdate Not Updating Folder Redirection Windows

Ok did a move about two weeks ago from an old Small biz server 2003 to server 2008 R2 we had a file redriect going for the mydocs on the old SBS 03 server. Moved all the files to the new R2 server and told the GP that the new home folder was on the new R2 server. Olny about half of the client computer did the switch the other half are still looking for the old server to sync offline files with and it is really lagging down their boxes they can't do anything with out the computer looking for the old share folder. We have changed the GP to disable Offline files and have taken off the redriection of the mydocs folder. And still the computer will no update the GP even if i go into the computer and do the /gpupdate/force it says everything was updated but still doing the same stuff. I know its not a computer problem if i log on to the computer with my account everything is updated and works like it should but log in with any of the troubled users accounts and they still look for the old server don't see any scripts running on their AD profile or anything.
