Did you "hide" the share (browseable = no)

Looks ok to me, what i see be low. 
And what i supsected. 
Event id 502. 
Do you see: 
Error details: “This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object.”.

If so, or correct the rights, or set gpo. 
Or read throug this side, and fix your rights setup. 
http://www.grouppolicy.biz/2010/08/best-practice-roaming-profiles-and-folder-redirection-a-k-a-user-virtualization/

quick is set the gpo. Most secure is set the correct rights. 

For correcting rights, and see the site above. 
Look here : http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=23510 
Use subinacl ** i did not test it yet, its on my list, its a Handy to have. 
And use this script with  it. 
SetOwner.bat

<start of script>

REM Set owner at profile root
\\domain.loc\netlogon\subinacl /subdirectories “%Userprofile%” /setowner=”DOMAIN\%username%” 
REM Set owner on files and folders in profile
\\domain.loc\netlogon\subinacl /subdirectories “%Userprofile%\*.*” /setowner=”DOMAIN\%username%” 

<end of script>


For setting up GPO. To not check owner/sec id. 

Set: 
Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Systems > User Profiles

• Add the Administrator security group to roaming users profiles (HIGHLY RECOMMEND)
• Background upload of a roaming user profile’s registry file while user is logged on (Adviced) 

• Delete use profiles older than a specified number of days on system restart (Recomended) 

!! THIS FIXED YOUR PROBLEM. 
Users Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Systems > User Profiles

• Do not check for users ownership of Roaming Profile Folders (Adviced)
