Home Sync Error: Error Code is -48

Hello,

I have connected my mac to active directory. I have added a user for testing the synchronization and I am having issues with one of the accounts.

When I try to sync the files I get a dialog box that pops up and says "Error code is -48" for each file it cannot sync.

I have tried removing the ~/Library/Mirrors/* to clear out the cache. Has not changed anything.

I can write to the remote directory through Terminal.

Here is what the MirrorAgent.log says:
================================================================================ ====================

It does this for each file it cannot write to the remote directory. It can write files from the remote directory to my local /Users/piepertest directory.

When the Home Sync process is finished, there are a number of hidden files created:

FL01D05MACG520:/Volumes/Users/Piepertest piepertest$ ls -las
total 880
32 drwxrwxrwx + 1 4294967195 WCICORP\ 16384 Mar 15 11:17 .

I am not sure why it can write those files and not the files from my local home directory.

I am able to sync other accounts with no problem. I am having this issue only with one account.

Thanks for your help.

The UniqueID in Active Directory might be the reason I am getting these permission issues.

When I do a listing I see the user name for some of the items in the directory, and for others I just see a UID. When I am logging in, I get a strange error message regarding the UID from the console.log:

Mar 16 12:39:58 FL01D05MACG520 login: User login johnschr (423286304) not logged in lastlog. UID too large.

for each user that logs in. Then I look at the UID in the /Volumes/Users/JOHNSCHR, it doesn't match the UID on my local system for each user.
