Sync Center not Automatically synch redirected documents

[Guest bxboriqua]

Enable background sync is enabled through GPO. When Documents folder redirection is set to "\\%servername%\%Username%$" Sync Center works properly and appears in sync center. When we change the redirection to "\\%servername%\Users$\%Username%\Documents" Sync Center does not start up automatically and does not show the sync partnership. I can sync the documents folder manually by right clicking and selecting Sync but it will not automatically using sync center.

I originally thought it may be a permission issue but the fact that I can sync manually and that it works by redirecting to %username%$ (shared at the Documents folder) makes me think otherwise.

The folder structure for both scenarios is

E:\Users\%username%\Documents

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
