MCX Folder redirect to make iMove save locally

I am using Folder redirects successfully to pull off some very handy actions. Along those lines, I have written one up that is almost working... but I cannot get the logout action to work correctly. My environment is all networked users via OD split between faculty and students on their own respective servers. We limit the storage pretty severely, to stop use of things like iTunes wasting space etc... iMovie is becoming popular for classwork in our labs. So I did up a redirect to make the ~/Movies folder store locally in /Users/Shared. What I cannot get to work correctly is the restore of the original ~/Movies folder at log out. My setup is below. Any insight as to where I've screwed up would be greatly appreciated. [b]this works as advertised.[/b] login redirect deleteandCreateSymlink Destination folder path is: /Users/Shared//%@ iMovie files are here/ Folder Path is: ~/Movies [b]no joy[/b] logout redirect deleteSymLinkAndRestore Destination folder path: ~/Movies I've also set it as just Folder Path and as both.... I always end up with the symlink just hanging out there mocking me.
