In XP you cannot use Offline Folders when you are using Fast User Switching.
I am not sure if it is still the case with Offline Files in Vista with Fast

This is a know problem with production installations of Vista. This
corrects several related problems, including problems with renaming network
files and folders. See http://support.mcirosoft.com/KB/934160
