The weird thing is that where I get this problem the server is actually
samba-based, Ebox... on the "pure" windows servers I think I can get it
working.
Next problem - where do I place a script to get it to run on
logout/shutdown, not login/boot?

Linux and "offline folders"

It seemed amazing to me that nobody had apparently done this, since it
should be relatively simple with FUSE. So I entered the amazingly complex
query "linux offline filesystem" into Google and got this as the first hit:
It looks like it aims to be exactly what you want, if you're willing to
settle for Samba as the network component. otoh, I'm not sure whether it's
ever been finished.
