EV not archiving based on 0day (terminated accounts)

DYNsystem
Level 2
We use EV6.0sp4 as our archive for terminated employees.
I have a evpm script that we run on user accounts that are being terminated.
It set's every item in the mailbox to be archived immediately with the filter listed below:
[Filter]
name    = 0daysARCHIVEALLNOW
CreateShortcut     = true
DeleteOriginal  = true
unreadMAIL  = true
UseInactivityPeriod = true
InactivityUnits  = Days
InactivityPeriod = 0
 
The accounts are not disabled, mailboxes are not hidden in Active Directory (we set deny to dialup access/login hours to none on the accounts)
 
I have tried a manual sync and then a manual run on the selected mailboxes, yet the mailboxes do not show the contents as archived.
Even waiting a week or more to make sure the nightly archival process catches the accounts.
This happens 90% of the time. (10% of the time it will work..sometimes)
 
Can someone tell me what could cause this not to work as designed?
Is there a more efficient way of doing this process.. and how can you more actively monitor the archival process to see where it is in terms of what mailboxes got archiving successfully ran on them?
(witout having to check the mailbox)
 
I have included the whole termination EVPM script we use at the bottom of this post -

This is what I use to archive mail immediately (we run EV 2007 SP2)...
 
[Directory]
directorycomputername = XXXX
sitename = XXXX
[Filter]
name = filter1
CreateShortcut = false
DeleteOriginal = true
unreadMAIL = true
UseInactivityPeriod = true
InactivityUnits = days
InactivityPeriod = 0

[Mailbox]
distinguishedname = /o=XXXX/ou=XXXXX/cn=Recipients/cn=XXXX
[Folder]
name = mailboxroot
filtername = filter1
retentioncategory = business
OverrideArchiveLocks = true
 
I then add the users to a group which has an Exchange policy attached to it which deletes all emails from the mailbox immediately - this removes deleted and sent items and EV shortcuts.  Once done, I then run another EV script via EVPM which resets their archives back to the default archive policy as our users have a habit of returning to the organisation and then complain that their emails are wiped every morning...

Can you post the contents of the EVPM script which resets the account back to the default policy?
 
Thanks.

To reset back to default, use this in the ini:
 
[Directory]
directorycomputername = XXXX
sitename = xxxx
[Mailbox]
distinguishedname = /o=xxxx/ou=First Administrative Group/cn=xxxx/cn=xxxx
[Folder]
name = mailboxroot
filtername = SystemDefault
retentioncategory = business
OverrideArchiveLocks = false
