User cannot access \\corp.company.com\dfs\company\subfolder. Subfolder is missing, however user can access \\corp.company.com\dfs\home\%username% which has offlinefiles enabled.
When I loggon with my admin account I get access denied when trying to access \\corp.company.com\dfs\company.
It works from other computers however, so the problem is isolated to this specific client.

1. Disable offline files
Control Panel -> Sync Center -> Manage Offline Files -> Disable Offline Files
2. Clear the offline file cache
This sets a temporary registry entry which is read on start-up and runs the cache wipe.
Elevated Command Prompt
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Csc\Parameters /v FormatDatabase /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
3. Reboot
You must reboot to successfully wipe the offline file cache
4. Test DFS path
\\corp.company.com\dfs\company\subfolder
5. Re-enable Offline Files
Control Panel -> Sync Center -> Manage Offline Files -> Enable Offline Files -> Reboot
