Group Policy processing does not work properly with two DC's

Hi there,

I have 2 DC's and have this error on of one of them:

Group Policy processing does not work and events 1030 and 1058 are logged in
the Application log of a domain controller.

If users log on by server02 everything is fine. If they log on by server01
then some settings are not set on their machine. The errors in the event log
are:

1030:Userenv: Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects.
Check the event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy
engine that describes the reason for this.

1058:Userenv: Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO
cn={5A75AA16-F702-4447-B563-8932FC335DFD},cn=policies,cn=system,DC=spreydon,DC =org,DC=nz.
The file must be present at the location
<\\spreydon.org.nz\SysVol\spreydon.org.nz\Policies \{5A75AA16-F702-4447-B563-8932FC335DFD}\gpt.ini>.
(The system cannot find the path specified. ). Group Policy processing
aborted.

Server01 (the one that doesn't work) is an older one upgraded from windows
2000 to 2003. Server02 is new and is win 2003 from the beginning.

I found a post somewhere saying do this:

dfsutil /PurgeMupCache

which did work, but about 3 days later the errors re-appeared.

Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Steve.
