Cached mode roaming users - outlook 2013

Hello all, I have a problem and I hope you can help me with it.

I have set-up outlook cached mode with gpo's, I changed the default location of the ost file to: c:\users\%username%\outlook. Roaming profile has also been configured. I've done this so that the ost file will not be downloaded everytime a user logs on to a new computer. (the DC is in another location and goes over a vpn connection). The users use multiple computers to log in and do there work.

Now the problem is, that everytime a user switches a computer and starts outlook, they will get the error message "outlook is using an old copy of your offline file folder (.ost)". I don't understand why outlook will not just overwrite the old ost file with the new changes?

Has anyone else seen this problem and knows a solution? I cannot use online mode in outlook,  because of the vpn connection.

Greets,

Edsley
