Just for my own education, isn't folder redirection limited to the "shell 
folders" like Documents, Downloads, Desktop, Videos, Pictures and such?

With that said, I do have some users "shell folders" redirected to my Samba 
server.

But, I also can do the home folder thing as well and can understand there might 
be cases where that's preferred since not everything in your home (and correct 
me if I'm wrong) is "redirectable" in the way I think we're talking about.
