Offline Files - tmp files - GUID - Access is denied - Sync

I've never seen a fix for this problem, but every time I try to work with
offline files, I end up with bunches of {GUID}.tmp files, and when I try to
Sync, I also end up with the message "Access is denied."

I have been able to re-produce it, repeatedly. After fixing the mess that
is created, I tried to manually go offline, watched the file share in
Explorer, and when I opened a document, saved a small change, then went
online and "synced" something VERY strange happened.

1. The INSTANT I re-connected the first {GUID}.tmp file was created
immediately.
2. When I "synced" again, a duplicate of the .tmp file was created, exact
same byte size, but with a new {GUID} label.
3. Every time I sync, same thing, a new duplicate of the .tmp file (exact
same byte size), with a new {GUID} is created.

Since this was an MS Word Doc, I changed the .tmp extension to .doc, and the
file WAS THERE and in tact, it just didn't complete the update for some
reason. Also, even when I try to sync, even after deleting the .tmp files,
the Sync continues to produce new {GUID}.tmp files. It is almost as if the
Sync is attempting to do the file update, places the .tmp file in the folder,
and then fails to set even a local registry? flag to show that it copied the
file over. So every time you try to sync, it keeps copying another .tmp file.

About 6 months ago, I abandoned Vista for this very same reason. Offline
file folders are absolutely CRITICAL for me... I just got another laptop and
thought I'd give it a try again, HUGE MISTAKE!!! Come on MS, get this fixed!
It's posted all over the web... Someone has got to address this...
