Horizon View 6.0.1 Persona Management double Appdata folders and lck files

Kind of a hard one to explain so here we go.

We have Persona Management setup on Non-Persistent linked clones.  with a central repository on a CIFS share on a VNX (Dedupe is on). About once a month we get a user where they get a double temp AppData folder one with today's date and one the a past date(Last time it worked). See image below for visual reference. When this happens any changes a user makes their files is not saved. So any items saved to their desktop or documents it trashed when they log back in the next day. If you delete or rename the oldest temp Appdata folder the next time the user logs in all their changes save fine.

My question is how do I keep this from happening?

Also what is the proper term for the highlighted folders?

The folder which begins with {d24 is the temporary folder for profile synchronizing. If it remains in repository, it means persona is replicating user profile or previous replicating failed (if user already logged off).

The folder which begins with {08C is lock folder when user is logging off. If it remains in repository, it means now there is a user is logging in or previous logoff failed.

You need to see persona log when this is happening.

Thanks,
