Cannot find files on drive where they exist

I have been using the DuplicateCleaner for removing files and it is working great. I'm ready to wipe a drive clean, but first wanted to see whether there were any Unique files on that drive which are not on my backup. I know that they are there, but the tool is not finding them. Here is the path where I know files exist:
E:\backup\i\1_Gig_G\backup\bos1.2010-11-3\Documents and Settings\bos\Documents\My Pictures
I'm wondering if it is not seeing the files because the OS was originally doing something funky with the My Pictures folder where it had a Junction or mapping to a different place. The other files which it is not finding are in the ….\AppData\… locations. It should be scanning *.* with no exclusions and I also checked the box for Hidden files.
