I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2, my station runs Windows 7.
while defining folder redirection policy (and others) I find that the redirection does not apply (or appear) in rsop.msc checkout.
First thing I've checked is restrictions on the folders where the My Documents folder will be redirected to, I have set full rights for my user on those folders (on the server), and yet I get no actual result.
Eventually I decided to add my specific user to the scope under the Folder Redirection policy, and well – still nothing…
Would love some clue about what can be wrong.

It sounds like the machine is not getting group police settings.
It not appearing in the RSOP is indicative of that. An error would have occurred if the security settings were incorrect. So, either that user account or the machine are not getting that group policy.
If this user gets this policy on other machines, make sure that the troubled workstation is in the same OU and the same security groups.
If this machine works for other users, you may want to make sure that this group policy is enforced as another group policy may be overriding it.
Good luck!
