Ok, I've worked out the caching was due to setting up administratively 
assigned offline folders.

However I think I was getting a little mixed up with my servers. The 
error log was from a server that still had the share enabled. I've now 
removed the share from the config and restarted the Samba server.  
Despite this I am still seeing the error when computers try to update 
group policy using this server.  The only way to update group policy is 
to change to the main server using DFS.
