Cannot see all folders when accessing a FileServer resource on a cluster

I have a very strange problem.  I have a 3 node cluster that is running various clustered resources.  One of these is a FileServer resource hosting the users' redirected "My Documents" folders in a share called home$

When I logon directly to the cluster and browse the home$ folder I can see all the folders.

When I browse to that folder from MY machine using the UNC path and specifying the hostname of the node currently owning the resource (e.g. \\ClusterNode1\home$), I see all of the folders

However, when I browse to that folder from MY machine using the UNC path of the clustered resource (e.g. \\FileServerClusterResource\home$), I don't see some of the folders

The permissions are OK and the folders are definitely accessible using my account so why cannot see certain folders under the home$ folder when accessing the FileServer resource using the UNC path of the cluster resource name?

Edit:  I should point out that the only share that was created manually was the home$ share.  The folders under home$ are created by the system when a user first logs on and "My Documents" is redirected

Edit 2:  Something I've just noticed (and maybe it's a coincidence).  Almost all of the folders that I CANNOT see are of users who have laptops and, therefore, those folders are made available offline by a GPO
