I use the standard windows 7 redirect process. The really crazy part is that I can save my game and the file shows up in my moved mydocs folder.

But every time I pull up the load game window the list of games is blank.
Exact same thing for me. The files are saved. Overwrite warning if I try to save a second with the same name...but Load screen is blank. And, I can see that the XML files are being updated. For example:
...\Stronghold 3\Profiles\options.xml has the graphics settings I set
...\Stronghold 3\Profiles\campaign_manager_state.xml has completed="true" for missions I've done
But when the game initially loads, graphics settings are back to the default...and missions are reset to only mission 1 available. Note that if I tab out and check, the XMLs are still correctly setup. It's as if they weren't read at all.
In my case, folder is redirected by GPO using standard Windows Server 2008 policy...no third party tools. The machine is a normal member of the domain.
While it should work, application data such as the above XML should not be stored in My Documents to begin with. That's what the application data directory is for...
Instead of using:
%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Stronghold 3
You should be using:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Firefly\Stronghold 3
(or Local instead of Roaming)
Right?
That's where my other games write their configuration data...
That would no doubt fix the issue you're having on systems configured like mine for the settings files ... although the bug for the load of saved games would still remain.
