Folder redirection

My users can save a document to their My doc's folder and then log into another machine in which that document will be there. Great eh?
The problem: The document is NOT being stored on the users home share because when you browse to it..it is not there.

It's nice that the doc's are replicating but because they're not being stored on their Home drive these doc's are not being backed up. The previous network admin set this up in a manner I have never seen before. Any clue as to what's going on here? This isn't standard folder redirection configuration is it?

Thanks for any help. My AD is a mess.

 
Apparently we DO have roaming profiles setup. Since I am not familiar with this setup, are these doc's being stored in the \\domain controller\profiles\%username% shares? Or are they simply just mirroring?
 
You could create a new user, save some files in MyDocs, then log on to the domain controller and take ownership of profiles\newuser, and see if the files are there. Don't take ownership of an actual users profile, I have had bad experiences in doing that.

I have redirected users 'mydocs' to their homedrive in group policy.
