Bingo!
Yes, I discovered the lowercase 'f' in Group Policy Management
and I was able to rename it, changing the lowercase 'f' to 'F' using ADSI Edit.
Now, sysvolreset runs without error and folder permissions look the same as yours.
SOLVED...
Thanks for your help, Rowland and Michael.
I still am wondering where that lowercase 'f' came from in AD.
(I doubt that I ever typed that long GUID in by hand!)
