Mac "Available offline" feature is not working.

I decided to go through all folders within my local Dropbox folder, and set them all to Offline.
This didn't work immediately, but after a number of sync's it appears to now be respecting the Offline defaults.
I have verified this on two local Mac installations.
I wil continue to monitor for any behaviour that is not respecting the default, or folder settings for Offline files.

Thanks for the screenshot, Stuart.
I do see the "available" icon on your camera uploads folder on the right.
You can read more about the "available" icon and the rest of the sync icons here.
If you actually click on the "make available offline" option and then add a file, what's the behavior you see?
