I'll ask again. "Did you change the sharing mode to "Automatic Caching for
Documents". The default is "Manual Caching", and this means you have to
explicitly choose to cache the document/folder -or- actually open the
document, for it to be placed into the Offline Folders Folder of the laptop.

If you have the caching mode (on the server) to "Automatic Caching for
Documents", then the documents (and folders) are *pushed* to the client as
you browse the share (well, they are here where I'm working...)

I'm finding that they *are* available (they also have the little double
arrow symbol) when I disconnect my desktop from the network.
