Can't change Win7 libraries location from Windows Server 2003 server

I'm having trouble understanding why I can't change the location of my Windows 7 Pro user libraries.

All of my libraries that matter (My Documents, Downloads, Desktop) are located @

\\server1\users\USER

The Desktop and My Documents libraries are synced with Windows Sync Center and are located @

\\server1\users\USER\My Documents (& Desktop)


On the Windows 7 machine, I can't use the 'move' function normally there. The location field is filled (with locations above) but I can't edit the locations, and there's no move operation.

So, I thought about manually moving them and then changing the registry location of the library, but I'd rather fix whatever permissions problem there is and use the stock libraries tool. I posted here because I can change the library locations for my other libraries (e.g. Contacts or whatever) using the normal Win7 move function found in the Properties of the library.

I inherited this Windows Server 2003 environment and it's on the way out. Trying to get everything off of it before I disconnect--this Win7 machine is last and I am so excited.

What am I missing?
Thanks for any help!
