Unable to save files to redirected folders, "Path does not exist" after booting machine into diagnostic startup

Hello,

I was troubleshooting software on a client's machine and put the machine into diagnostic startup mode. After I swapped it back to normal boot, the user is unable to save files onto redirected folders i.e. server1//%username%//Desktop saying that the path does not exist. This profile redirection is applied via Group Policy.

The user is able to access redirected file paths just fine but cannot save anything to them. This happens with any software.

Help on this matter would be appreciated.
