Folder Redirection - Recycle Bin Items Invisible

We use group policy to manage our user environment of around 2000
users. Users have roaming profiles with folder redirection applied to
the the "documents" folder which points it to the users personal
network directory path as follows - \\domain\unc\path\user\documents.

As the documents folder has folder redirection applied Vista creates a
"Recycle Bin" in the network folder. When a user deletes a file from
their network "Documents" folder, Vista moves it into the recycle bin
and changes the icon to show that there are files in the bin. However,
if you open the "Recycle Bin" by double-clicking no files are
displayed. When a user opts to empty the recycle bin Vista asks
whether you want to delete X items, indicating that the files are
indeed there. Furthemore, using the cmd line to get a file listing of
the recycle bin it does indeed show the files.

Why are these files being hidden from display???

Any help very much appreciated... I've tried turning off all group
policies apart from folder redirection - I've also elevated
permissions on the documents folder as well as the local C:\Recycle.Bin
$ folder - all to no avail!
